    Story Behind the Song
    It is said to write about what you know. I thought I knew my former wife until she revealed her capacity for deceit and betrayal. The melody came while driving in parking lot. I had the lyrics but rewrote them in on a flight to Amsterdam. Of course it is part cathartic, part feel-good divorce anthem you can hum along to.

    Lyrics
    Let's walk along the beach
    'til we're out of reach
    and no one can save you
    then for a little while
    you'll cry all the while
    down the road I paved you
    try standing on your own
    this is not your home
    this is what she said to me
    as I wondered why she called it clarity

    Yeah, thought I had a life
    husband, home and wife
    thought it was forever
    bumps come along the way
    to this very day
    never thought of never
    funny never had a doubt
    always worked it out
    always moving forward
    sad how I never know
    'til she told me no
    you were never meant for me
    tell me darling do you call it clarity?

    everytime you go there
    feelings are the same
    wrapped up in emotions
    of love, loss and blame
    thought no one could hurt you
    swore it was a dream
    you bet on it, you kill for it
    and never come clean
    so wash yourself, rid yourself
    nothing holds you back
    whole life is ahead of you
    time to get on track
    time to leave the past behind
    she's over you and shares none of the blame
    so claim, claim, claim...

    Feel no less wiser now
    still I wonder how
    I dug deep and bought it
    sold to the highest bid
    who was I to kid?
    who was I to claim it?
    truth, nothing's set in stone
    still I'm free to roam
    free to write it over
    hot right out of the gate
    leaving it to fate
    pay and pull the lever
    skin toughend by the burn
    and the lessons learned
    leave me with a question
    tell me, now do you call it clarity?
    I want to know
    tell me, darling did you find your clarity?
    I want to know
    tell me, tell me have you lost your clarity?
    I want to know...
