Wash it in the sea
Let it soak all night
Wash it in the sea
Let the saltwater wash it away
Soak it in bleach
till it's white on white
soak it in bleach
till the blood just washes away
hang it in the wind
let it blow all night
hang it up high
let the high wind blow it away
hang it in the wind
let the sun burn bright
hang it in the wind
till the blood just washes away
i have waited wasted years for the child that's come and gone today
say what about this wasted fear?
how can i just turn and wash it away?
If I can then I will wash it away
if she can then she will wash it away.
If I can then I will, wash it away
if she can then she will, wash it away.
Forty years spent one by one
Forty years of life just slipping away.
What I'd give for a firstborn son.
Forty years of blood just washing away.
I have waited wasted lives
I have waited long enough I'd say
Say what about this wasted child?
How can I just turn and wash it away?
If I can then I will, wash it away.
If she can then she will wash it away
I I can then I will, wash it away
If she can then she will
Wash it away
Send me an angel.
Send me the ghost that i was
Send me an angel
Send me the ghost that i was
That I was
That I am
I will wash it away
She will wash it away
If I can then I will, wash it away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let it soak all night
Wash it in the sea
Let the saltwater wash it away
Soak it in bleach
till it's white on white
soak it in bleach
till the blood just washes away
hang it in the wind
let it blow all night
hang it up high
let the high wind blow it away
hang it in the wind
let the sun burn bright
hang it in the wind
till the blood just washes away
i have waited wasted years for the child that's come and gone today
say what about this wasted fear?
how can i just turn and wash it away?
If I can then I will wash it away
if she can then she will wash it away.
If I can then I will, wash it away
if she can then she will, wash it away.
Forty years spent one by one
Forty years of life just slipping away.
What I'd give for a firstborn son.
Forty years of blood just washing away.
I have waited wasted lives
I have waited long enough I'd say
Say what about this wasted child?
How can I just turn and wash it away?
If I can then I will, wash it away.
If she can then she will wash it away
I I can then I will, wash it away
If she can then she will
Wash it away
Send me an angel.
Send me the ghost that i was
Send me an angel
Send me the ghost that i was
That I was
That I am
I will wash it away
She will wash it away
If I can then I will, wash it away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
