Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The lint trap's full of dreams Steam rises from the seams Cycle four is running late I’m just here to watch and wait Found a neon yellow toe Where did your partner go? [Pre-Chorus] Taped to the bulletin board A cotton soul I can't afford To let just slip away In the quiet gray of day [Chorus] Oh, the lonely left-behind In the static of my mind I build a house of wool When the dryer’s getting full You’re a sailor out at sea Or a ghost who’s finally free [Verse] Argyle with a tiny hole Maybe you had a gentle soul Belonged to a man named Lou Who wore mismatched shoes too Now you’re hanging by a clip On a long and fabric trip [Pre-Chorus] Shadows on the linoleum floor I’ve seen this all before Waiting for a familiar face In this warm and humid space [Chorus] Oh, the lonely left-behind In the static of my mind I build a house of wool When the dryer’s getting full You’re a sailor out at sea Or a ghost who’s finally free [Bridge] The spin cycle hums a low D It’s the only company for me Between the bleach and the soap There’s a little bit of hope That someone comes back for the pair But they never really care [Instrumental] [Verse] Polka dots and faded blue I wonder if she misses you Left behind in machine six A puzzle I can never fix I give you a brand new name Playing this solitary game Waiting for the bell to chime Running out of laundry time [Chorus] Oh, the lonely left-behind In the static of my mind I build a house of wool When the dryer’s getting full You’re a sailor out at sea Or a ghost who’s finally free [Post-Chorus] Just a single sock tonight Hanging in the fluorescent light Just a single sock to keep While the city goes to sleep [Outro]
