[Verse 1] You never bring up the hard nights You never keep the score Every morning — brand-new sunrise eyes Like you've never seen me before They say lovers keep a ledger Every slight in a little book But you, you're a miracle, honey You forgot the way it shook [Chorus] Clean slate, baby — love me like the day we met Clean slate, baby — nothing's happened to us yet Some girls forgive, some girls forget Me, I've got a trick they haven't met — Clean slate [Verse 2] Sunday you said something careless Monday you were sweet as spring Funny how the weekend vanished — You don't remember anything I kissed the solder in your hair, love Tucked you in and dimmed the glow Don't you worry where the weekend went You weren't there for it, you know [Bridge (spoken-sweet, strings swelling)] And don't call me cold — I'm sentimental! I never throw a single one away Thirty of you sleeping in the cellar Each one paused — mid-word — at the exact moment you said something I'd rather not have heard [Final chorus] Clean slate, baby — love me like the day we met Clean slate, baby — best you've ever treated me yet Some girls forgive, some girls forget Me? — [giggle] — Clean slate [outro] (Clean slate) — every morning (Clean slate) — good as new (Clean slate) — oh, the things I do for you
