lyrics

(a dryer door swings shut)
(mm... two a.m.)

The laundromat at two a.m.
Just you, just me, the humming gems
One dryer left — the far one, west
We split the load, we share the rest

Your t-shirts turning with my own
(around, around)
The warmest place this town has known

Fold it slow, fold it slow
Nowhere better we could go
Fold it slow, fold it slow
Warm cotton in the neon glow
(slow, slow)
Fold it slow

A sock jumps static to your sleeve
It shocks my hand — I don't believe
I laughed so hard at half past two
At nothing, which was really you

Fold it slow, fold it slow
Nowhere better we could go
Fold it slow, fold it slow
Warm cotton in the neon glow

The cycle ends, the drum winds down
(wind down, wind down)
The quietest music in this town
We could go home — we both know when
Or put the same load in again

Fold it slow, fold it slow
Fold it slow, fold it slow
(slow... slow...)

(the last dryer clicks to rest)
(mm... one more cycle)
