Cycle of You

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent lights flicker low
Watching the colors spin slow
I’m down to my last dime
Just trying to kill some time
You’re leaning on machine four
I’ve never seen you here before
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you reach in your pocket
Like a silver-lined rocket
You say “Hey, I’ve got plenty”
And hand me a shiny twenty
Oh, the air feels light
Under the neon tonight
[Chorus]
Spinning in the cycle of you
Everything feels shiny and new
The rhythm of the heavy drum
Makes my heart start to hum
We’re tumbling, we’re falling
I hear the future calling
[Post-Chorus]
Quarters in the slot
Giving all I’ve got
Tumbling, tumbling
With you
[Verse]
You told me about your old town
Where the rain came pouring down
I told you ‘bout my red bike
And all the things I didn’t like
The dryer’s humming a soft tune
Under a paper-white moon
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we’re sharing a story
In all its laundry-day glory
Every word is a treasure
Taking my heart’s full measure
Oh, the air feels light
Under the neon tonight
[Chorus]
Spinning in the cycle of you
Everything feels shiny and new
The rhythm of the heavy drum
Makes my heart start to hum
We’re tumbling, we’re falling
I hear the future calling
[Bridge]
Cotton candy scent in the air
Soap suds stuck in your hair
We’re just two strangers in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
Static cling and electric blue
I’m stuck on the thought of you
[Hook]
High above the sudsy white
We could dance until the light
Just you and me
Laundry destiny
[Chorus]
Spinning in the cycle of you
Everything feels shiny and new
The rhythm of the heavy drum
Makes my heart start to hum
We’re tumbling, we’re falling
I hear the future calling
[Post-Chorus]
Quarters in the slot
Giving all I’ve got
Tumbling, tumbling
With you
[Outro]
