Swept Clean Lyrics by Floppy Dee

2012

[Verse 1]
Everything was swept clean around us
Just like an atomic bomb has blown it all away (in every direction)
And the grey sky was blue when it felt like the future's our friend
(Felt like the future's our friend)

[Chorus]
Dear past (dear past), why did you leave this place?
Come back (come back), there's so much time left to waste
We found a lot has changed for the worst
And it feels like everything is numb

[Verse 2]
All these positive impressions are nothing else but worthless reminders
And what about our broken friendships?
Now all of us have separate lives
I hate this awkward silence, because it feels like violence

[Chorus]
Dear past (dear past), why did you leave this place?
Come back (come back), there's so much time left to waste
We found a lot has changed for the worst
And it feels like everything is numb

[Chorus]
Dear past (dear past), why did you leave this place?
Come back (come back), there's so much time left to waste
We found a lot has changed for the worst
And it feels like everything is numb (just like, just like)
Just like an atomic bomb has blown it all away
