Washing Machine Lyrics

You gave me a seashell you left in your pocket

After a night on the beach

But then you forgot it, put it through the washer

So now it's been tumbled and cleaned

I give it a listen to discern all its secrets

Whenever you're out of reach

I thought I'd find the motion of the ocean

But now all I hear is a washing machine

The environment's shit, like you read in the paper

You're smart now, you take after me

I told you again that I might call you later

But I'm hoping you just go to sleep

You gave me your seashell and puppy-dog sweetness

While I'm only bitter and green (I'm only bitter)

I thought I'd glide on the motion of the ocean

But now I'm stuck here in a washing machine

I thought I found comfort in your words and your tissues

But acidified oceans are a serious issue

Yeah, you said that shell's a little softer now than it was before
