Coconut Debt

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent lights hum a flat B
Spin cycle’s my only company
Sorting socks for a guy named Dave
I’m a bored-to-death laundromat slave
Empty pockets, gum on the floor
I’ve seen it all a thousand times before
Scrubbing out the city grime
One quarter at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I pull out the navy blue
The one you took, the one I knew
My fingers twitch on the cuff
I haven't had quite enough
Of this feeling in my chest
Like a failed chemical test
[Chorus]
It smells like coconut shampoo
The kind I left at home with you
Six months since you skipped the bill
But the scent is lingering still
It’s a tropical punch to the face
In this cold and soapy place
Yeah, you’re still a ghost in the thread
Living rent-free inside of my head
[Post-Chorus]
Coconut and cold regret
Something I haven't finished yet
(Yeah, you still owe me)
(Yeah, you still owe me)
[Break]
[Verse]
You were a master of the stall
Staring at the cracks in the wall
While I worked two shifts at the mill
You were 'finding yourself' on a hill
Of my laundry and my stolen pride
With nowhere left for you to hide
Now your hoodie’s in my hand
In this humid, plastic wasteland
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the fuzz guitar kicks in
Beneath my tired, pale skin
I’m gripping the sleeves too tight
In the middle of a Tuesday night
My heart is a rhythmic mess
Underneath this work-day dress
[Chorus]
It smells like coconut shampoo
The kind I left at home with you
Six months since you skipped the bill
But the scent is lingering still
It’s a tropical punch to the face
In this cold and soapy place
Yeah, you’re still a ghost in the thread
Living rent-free inside of my head
[Bridge]
The Farfisa stabs at the air
I don't even really care
There’s a donation bin outside
Where the unwanted secrets hide
Metal door slams with a heavy thud
Clearing out the stagnant mud
I’m lighter than a soap bubble now
Don't ask me why or ask me how
I just dropped you in the slot
Giving back the little that I got
[Hook]
Wash it out
Spin it dry
Say goodbye
Don't you cry
Wash it out
Spin it dry
Leave the bottle where it lies
[Chorus]
It smells like coconut shampoo
The kind I left at home with you
Six months since you skipped the bill
But the scent is lingering still
It’s a tropical punch to the face
In this cold and soapy place
Yeah, you’re still a ghost in the thread
Living rent-free inside of my head
[Post-Chorus]
Coconut and cold regret
Something I haven't finished yet
(Yeah, you still owe me)
(Yeah, you still owe me)
[Breakdown]
No more static
No more debt
Best shift I've ever had yet
Clean slate
Clean plate
Don't make me wait
[Outro]
