Quarter-Turn Regret

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent lights hum in the hall
Shadows stretch against the wall
This dryer dial is stuck on high
I watch the static tumble by
Found a receipt in my jeans
From a night behind the scenes
It’s faded to a ghostly white
Just like us in this light
[Pre-Chorus]
My nail polish is chipped and blue
I haven't heard a word from you
The silence is a heavy weight
I guess we left it all to fate
[Chorus]
We let it drift until it broke
Now every word's a private joke
That nobody is left to tell
I hope you're doing really well
I'm folding hoodies in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round
Lost and found
In the lint
A tiny hint
[Verse]
The detergent smells like fake pine
I used to think that you were mine
Not in a way that’s weird or deep
Just a promise we couldn't keep
I found that pen you let me borrow
I'll probably lose it by tomorrow
Unreturned texts on the screen
The messiest break I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m staring at the bleach stain
Feeling that familiar dull pain
The washer makes a rhythmic thud
Like heavy boots in thick mud
[Chorus]
We let it drift until it broke
Now every word's a private joke
That nobody is left to tell
I hope you're doing really well
I'm folding hoodies in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Bridge]
Was it the time or just the distance?
I offered up no real resistance
We’re just two shirts in different loads
Walking down two different roads
The buzzer sounds like a scream
Waking from a heavy dream
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
The floor is wet near machine four
I don't go to that bar no more
Because the jukebox plays our song
And everything feels slightly wrong
I'm matching socks that don't belong
I've been here for way too long
[Chorus]
We let it drift until it broke
Now every word's a private joke
That nobody is left to tell
I hope you're doing really well
I'm folding hoodies in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round
Lost and found
In the lint
A tiny hint
