Jon Geihsler - whitewash

Been holed up in this place too long
I'm singing all the same damn songs
I'm looking for the chords that will break her goddamn heart
But tonight I don't know where to start
No, I shouldn't blame her, that's the truth
She gave me chance after chance that I blew
And again I'm hiding in a bar I have no right to be
These demons they're half-priced after three

Oh-oh tonight I'm gonna whitewash these old sins
Oh-oh clean the windows to let the light back in
Oh-oh my heart is hers to break or mend
I don't care, 'cause that's the shape I'm in

See I was straight almost a year
Then she showed two pink lines bright and clear
We took our $500 and we did what we had to do
I told her I'd just have one drink, maybe two
I made it home that next week
To find her note and find her keys
There's a hole in the closet where her suitcase used to be
Its outline in dust on the floor is killing me

Oh-oh tonight I'm gonna whitewash these old sins
Oh-oh clean the windows to let the light back in
Oh-oh my heart is hers to break or mend
I don't care, that's the shape I'm in

See I've had my heart broken oh but not like this
So I'll sit and wait with all the vela santos lit
And I hope that she sees it, that she sees it

Oh-oh tonight I'm gonna whitewash these old sins
Oh-oh clean the windows to let the light back in
Oh-oh my heart is hers to break or mend
I don't care, 'cause that's the shape I'm in
