lyrics
It came out furiously
"Why won’t you just let me be?
Can’t I just do what I do?
You know I don’t even think that I asked you"
I watched your face fall, the color rising
You fell behind while I rushed to right me
I break my heart when I break your life-line
By disregarding you like a side-line
But can I come clean
You know I want to come clean
Oh will you let me come clean
Things that I wouldn’t see
you bring before me daily
The light I throw in the dark
and then the dark in my own pretty heart
I watch my height fall, but something true there
Cause I don’t feel small now that I’m down here
I stare across to the eyes before me
Right on the level and love implores me
Go on and come clean
I want for you to come clean
So go, go on and come clean
We sit in silence and I’m ashamed now
along a church bench we are the same now
I say I’m sorry I didn’t mean to
Will you forgive me, you know I need you
To be myself to be someone else
to wallow with me in knowing Grace who
Walks beside us in all our weakness
in all our anger, in all our speeches
Of what we know and what we deserve and
all the reasons we think we shouldn’t
have to come clean, we don’t wanna come clean
We know we need to come clean
"Why won’t you just let me be?
Can’t I just do what I do?
You know I don’t even think that I asked you"
I watched your face fall, the color rising
You fell behind while I rushed to right me
I break my heart when I break your life-line
By disregarding you like a side-line
But can I come clean
You know I want to come clean
Oh will you let me come clean
Things that I wouldn’t see
you bring before me daily
The light I throw in the dark
and then the dark in my own pretty heart
I watch my height fall, but something true there
Cause I don’t feel small now that I’m down here
I stare across to the eyes before me
Right on the level and love implores me
Go on and come clean
I want for you to come clean
So go, go on and come clean
We sit in silence and I’m ashamed now
along a church bench we are the same now
I say I’m sorry I didn’t mean to
Will you forgive me, you know I need you
To be myself to be someone else
to wallow with me in knowing Grace who
Walks beside us in all our weakness
in all our anger, in all our speeches
Of what we know and what we deserve and
all the reasons we think we shouldn’t
have to come clean, we don’t wanna come clean
We know we need to come clean

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

I listened to a lot of Steve Lawson's music before buying any. So easy to play in the background while browsing on the iPad. So many moods and good to hear it coming as played live. He gets a lot from a bass and its in HD flac. It was time to catch up on buying...
