The Spin Cycle Home

[Intro]
[Verse]
The screen door still has that same old squeak
It’s been ten years since I heard it speak
Dusty light on the linoleum floor
I’m back at the place by the grocery store
Quarter in the slot, let the water run
Thinking ‘bout everything I haven’t done
[Pre-Chorus]
The smell of lavender and heavy rain
Washing out the city and the highway stain
I see a shadow of the girl I was
Just a restless heart chasing a buzz
[Chorus]
Oh, the spin cycle’s turning me ‘round again
Back to the roots where the stories begin
Tracing the glue where a sticker used to be
A little piece of heaven, a little piece of me
The rhythm of the rinse is a steady sound
Finally happy with my feet on the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning ‘round, spinning ‘round
Lost and found, lost and found
[Verse]
Dryer number four has a dent in the side
Where I used to sit and wait for a ride
Faded yellow star on the tempered glass
Watching all the summer afternoons pass
I ran so far just to realize
The truth was always right before my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m folding up the ghosts of the girl I knew
Giving all the credit where the credit is due
I used to want a life that was loud and fast
Now I want a love that is built to last
[Chorus]
Oh, the spin cycle’s turning me ‘round again
Back to the roots where the stories begin
Tracing the glue where a sticker used to be
A little piece of heaven, a little piece of me
The rhythm of the rinse is a steady sound
Finally happy with my feet on the ground
[Bridge]
The pedal steel weeps like a long-lost friend
Wondering if the road ever has an end
I folded my dreams like a warm cotton shirt
Shaking off the miles and the red clay dirt
[Verse]
The old man in the corner tipped his hat
Asked me if I’m staying, just like that
I didn’t have to think, I didn’t have to lie
I looked at the clouds in the big blue sky
The restless kid finally found her way
To the quiet magic of a Tuesday
[Chorus]
Oh, the spin cycle’s turning me ‘round again
Back to the roots where the stories begin
Tracing the glue where a sticker used to be
A little piece of heaven, a little piece of me
The rhythm of the rinse is a steady sound
Finally happy with my feet on the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning ‘round, spinning ‘round
Lost and found, lost and found
Spinning ‘round, spinning ‘round
I’m home now, safe and sound
[Outro]
