"Whitewash" lyrics

This night never happened if it's alright with you
Not a word of our weakness so much as a clue
If there's a place outside I'm glad to play no part
The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars

Wash away my weekend, shadow my sight
Come on, sweet amnesia, you're needed here tonight
Take a seat in the shadows, forget it as it goes
Dissipate in the morning air all you know

If you find out
You'll find every lie you might
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight

These suspicions have been long drained dry
Our persistence holds them here
A maze of bars and rented rooms remain
Enough to make you almost look away (Oh)

This night never happened if it's alright with you
Another for the collection of things we didn't do
That private party is over, thank God we get new starts
The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars

When it comes down
In a clear and certain light
I was nowhere near last night
I was nowhere near last night
Whitewash everything in sight
Whitewash everything in sight
Everything in sight
Ooh, everything
