Fluorescent Moon

[Chorus] Spin cycle hums my lonely tune Underneath the pale fluorescent moon Empty lot and flickering light Another endless, restless night This city's big, I'm feeling small Watching my clean clothes tumble, waiting for a call [Verse] Two months in, still feel like a ghost Trying to find my footing, feeling lost From out of state, a brand new start But all I've got is this aching heart Phone in hand, a message typed and deleted Words unsaid, a future undefeated This laundromat, my only stage Turning a solitary page [Pre-Chorus] The fabric softener scent, a sweet disguise For all the tears I hold behind my eyes The washing machine's rhythm, a steady beat Like my own pulse, a slow defeat [Chorus] Spin cycle hums my lonely tune Underneath the pale fluorescent moon Empty lot and flickering light Another endless, restless night This city's big, I'm feeling small Watching my clean clothes tumble, waiting for a call [Verse] I stare into the glass, a blurry swirl Each sock and shirt, a different world They're getting clean, so fresh and bright While I'm still stuck in this fading light This sterile room, it seems to mock My lack of place, tick-tock, tick-tock No one to call, no one to see Just me, the machine, and this misery [Pre-Chorus] The fabric softener scent, a sweet disguise For all the tears I hold behind my eyes The washing machine's rhythm, a steady beat Like my own pulse, a slow defeat [Chorus] Spin cycle hums my lonely tune Underneath the pale fluorescent moon Empty lot and flickering light Another endless, restless night This city's big, I'm feeling small Watching my clean clothes tumble, waiting for a call [Bridge] I trace the condensation on the pane Wishing for a different kind of rain A comfort from the ones I left behind But there's only static in my mind This empty parking lot stretches on for miles Reflecting my own vacant smiles [Outro]
