Wash the Hurt Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There is no one else who can carry me to the end of time
There is no one left who can wake me up from this fate of mine
No crown to wear
No song to sing
Now my skin is thin so let me in
My armor is down so you can begin

[Chorus]
Please wash the hurt away from
Please wash the hurt away from
Please wash the hurt away from me

[Verse 2]
Weighted, ya hate it
Your crest fell upon my chest now
Thousands of pounds
The baggage wearing me down now
I came to your door
I'm alone and it's me (I'm alone)
You still can't believe I'm the seed that came from your tree
And the life we want flashes, it flashes
And the love we had? Ashes to ashes!
We are lost and we're drifting and drifting away

[Chorus]
Please wash the hurt away from
Please wash the hurt away from
Please wash the hurt away from me
The hurt away from me, yeah
The hurt away from me
Ooo, yeah
The hurt away from me
(And the life we want flashes, it flashes)
Please, please wash
The hurt away

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Despairing and with nowhere left to go, Arlo plunges into the sewer and lets its flow take him wherever it goes.

As he travels, visions of the life he could have had flash before him, as well as visions of all he has lost.
