Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Fluorescent hum, a steady buzz Laundry day is what it was Sudsy windows, clouded views Mixing up my whites and blues Then you stepped in, cool and slow With a certain kind of low-fi glow Denim jacket, tired eyes Catching me by sweet surprise [Pre-Chorus] MPC is tapping out a beat Steam is rising from the street You leaned against the folding table Like a hero from a fable [Chorus] But in dryer number four You left a little something more A dog-eared book of poetry A paper trail for me to see It’s smelling like a summer breeze Putting all my heart at ease Yeah, I’m smitten by the spin Wondering where you’ve been [Post-Chorus] Spinning round and round Look at what I found In the heat and the light In the middle of the night [Verse] I pulled the handle, felt the heat Found the verses, bittersweet Marginalia in the lines Reading all your hidden signs Scent of softener on the page Acting like a quiet sage Did you mean to leave it there? Or was it just a lack of care? [Pre-Chorus] Fender Rhodes is playing wide Nowhere for my heart to hide You left your spirit on the shelf I’m keeping it all to myself [Chorus] But in dryer number four You left a little something more A dog-eared book of poetry A paper trail for me to see It’s smelling like a summer breeze Putting all my heart at ease Yeah, I’m smitten by the spin Wondering where you’ve been [Bridge] Soft rustle of the turning leaf Finding beauty in the brief The sub-bass hits a mellow chord A feeling I can well afford Maybe you’ll come back for it Wait for the dryer light to quit [Hook] It’s the rhythm of the rinse I haven’t been the same way since It’s the cadence of the dry Underneath the neon sky [Verse] Maybe you’re just down the block Checking on the kitchen clock Realizing that your pocket’s light Walking back into the night I’ll be sitting on this plastic chair Combing fingers through my hair With your sonnets in my hand The finest rhythm in the land [Chorus] But in dryer number four You left a little something more A dog-eared book of poetry A paper trail for me to see It’s smelling like a summer breeze Putting all my heart at ease Yeah, I’m smitten by the spin Wondering where you’ve been [Outro]
