Song Description
A song about being inspired to be the best person you can possibly be. a song about attraction and love and finding the right means and time to express yourself. I've used addiction as a metaphor. The narrator will give up everything and 'be clean' if he can satiate his growing attraction to the girl. Very suitable for road movie/travel scenes of flirting/ attraction/love etc.

Lyrics
She makes me want to be clean
Come drink with us 'till dawn,
You'll see my good side, yeah, good side, yeah
We'll hang out with the poet and the boy,
We'll have some good times yeah, good times yeah
But she makes me want to be clean
Show my bright side always,
For my bright side to be real....
You know it's not so far from the city to the sea,
We could wake up in the morning take the salt from the breeze
As the rays from the lighthouse reel my ship in,
Well, I know I won't sink if this girl will swim
But she makes me want to be clean
Show my bright side always,
For my bright side to be real
Now the future's looking brighter,
I'm not afraid of anything,
My head is clear, my time is mine,
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to hide,
But I like you and I don't know why,
I like you and I don't know why,
I didn't ask you then, I haven't asked you yet,
I couldn't find the right time.
Walk me through the early morning empty streets,
And we'll hang out by the bridge in the upside down city,
Listen to the dawn chorus by the Lee,
We're looking good in water colours, you and me,
But she makes me want to be clean
Show my bright side always for my bright side to be,
She makes me want to be clean
Show my bright side always for my bright side to be...
She makes me want to be clean,
Show my bright side always for my bright side to be
She makes me want to be clean,
Show my bright side always for my bright side to be,
For my bright side to be real...
The future's looking brighter,
I'm not afraid of anything,
My head is clear, my time is mine,
I've got nothing to lose and nothing to hide
But I like you and I don't know why
I like you and I don't know why,
I didn't ask you then, I haven't asked you yet,
I couldn't find the right time.
Yeah, I like you and I don't know why,
I like you and I don't know why,
I didn't ask you then, I haven't asked you yet,
There'll never be a better time.
