Lyrics
Rinse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars
That shine so bright
For answers to the questions
That will haunt her tonight
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved
If he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons
That she will never understand
'Til she knows the heart of a woman
Will never be found in the arms of a man
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
And if she runs away
She fears she won't be followed
What could be the worse
Than leaving something behind?
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds
If only he was mine
She'd do anything to spakle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars
That shine so bright
For answers to the questions
That will haunt her tonight
She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
