The Regret Button

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent flickers on the tile
I’ve been sitting here a while
My dollar's crumpled at the edge
Teetering on a metal ledge
The machine is acting cold
Like the secrets that you hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a nickel in my shoe
Saved it just for something new
Pushing buttons, one or two
Wondering if I’m missing you
[Chorus]
The dryer hums a heavy tune
Like your snoring in the room
Whirling cycles end too soon
Underneath a plastic moon
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Lost in what I found
Static in the sound
Feet above the ground
[Breakdown]
It’s stuck.
Just like that summer in Seattle.
You were a bag of salt and vinegar chips.
Sharp, stinging, but I kept coming back.
Now the coil won't even turn.
[Verse]
Dented silver, button three
Labelled 'REGRET' just for me
I press it once to feel the click
The irony is getting thick
Wrappers littering the floor
Like the shoes beside my door
[Interlude]
Clay drums beating slow
Nowhere else to go
Rhodes keys start to glow
Let the feeling flow
[Chorus]
The dryer hums a heavy tune
Like your snoring in the room
Whirling cycles end too soon
Underneath a plastic moon
[Bridge]
Oh, the static in the air
Finds me hiding everywhere
Between the soap and the rinse
I haven't seen my spirit since
But I'm grateful for the heat
And the rhythm of the street
Let the gospel take the lead
Give me everything I need
[Hook]
Half-finished snacks and lovers
Hiding under static covers
Waiting for the light to change
Feeling beautifully strange
[Outro]
