Come Clean Lyrics by Juli Strawbridge

Oversharing

2020

[Verse 1]
I wanna convince you I'm not the girl with no plans 'til you call
Who lets tonight take me anywhere it asks
I wanna convince you I'm not the girl who likes to get a little bit lost
Who doesn't lean in but will always lean in back
But here we are and here I am
[Verse 2]
Bottles underneath the passenger seat
Hide behind the stirring wheel
Think we saw the police
Asked you what you're doing with your hand on my knee
And you said "does it have to be something?"
'Cause I don't think I see white lines
Or I just cross them every damn time
You don't mind forgetting her a few times
And you sent your memory off running
[Pre-Chorus]
So we made this oath, no one can know
Nothing to tell but I won't too
Where this might go won't be disclosed
But pinky promises are sworn on the weakest part of you
[Chorus]
'Cause what goes up comes down
This silence is the nicest sound
This can't be something wrong if it ain't something
'Cause I'm the girl you want around
Think you're the boy that I've been warned about
We might hit the ground, but we'll hit it running
'Cause we love coming the places
That make it impossible to come clean
No we can't come clean
[Verse 3]
You try to convince me you're not the guy with hands like sinking sand
But you pull me in the second I step too close
You try to convince me you're not the guy I thought you were in the past
But maybe you're worse and I've gotten just as bad
[Verse 4]
And it hits me, you'll take every chance you find
To do what you'll have to lie about
To lie about how it's not that bad to do
And it hits me that I am just like you
5am, won't play the fool
Could've broken the spell and not the rules
But I didn't want to
[Pre-Chorus]
So we made this oath, no one can know
Nothing to tell but I won't too
'Cause if you've got my hand I guess
There's no space for the convictions that you say you hold
But pinky promises are sworn on the weakest part of you
[Chorus]
'Cause what goes up comes down
This silence is the nicest sound
This can't be something wrong if it ain't something
'Cause I'm the girl you want around
Think you're the boy that I've been warned about
We might hit the ground, but we'll hit it running
'Cause we love coming the places
That make it impossible to come clean
No we can't come clean
[Bridge]
Once we tell the truth about the past
History might come right back
Say it's nothing wrong and I believe you
But we both don't see it black and white
Babe, we both don't feel that knife
Does that mean this isn't something lethal?
[Chorus]
'Cause what goes up comes down
This silence is the nicest sound
This can't be something wrong if it ain't something
'Cause I'm the girl you want around
Think you're the boy that I've been warned about
We might hit the ground, baby we'll hit it running
'Cause what goes up comes down
This silence is the nicest sound
This can't be something wrong if it ain't something (If it ain't something)
'Cause I'm the girl you want around
Think you're the boy that I've been warned about
We might hit the ground, but we'll hit it running
'Cause we love coming the places
That make it impossible to come clean
(Baby we can't come clean)
We'll never come clean
