Amy LaVere - Washing Machine lyrics

She walked through the park in the dark Her best friend was her own heart beat With every little step she'd take She'd get one step closer to leaving Sitting in her kitchen at night She listened to the washing machine Just wishing that she could leave But there were so many loads to clean She could hear it in her head sometimes Like the change that she was saving in a jar And the chains on the front porch swing Were creaking like steps in the dark One day soon this is all gonna end One day soon maybe it'll all begin He'd tell it to her all the time He was the best thing she'd ever see Oh he was stomping up and down the hall But she could still hear the washing machine She could hear it in her head sometimes Like the change that she was saving in a jar And the chains on the front porch swing Were creaking like steps in the dark One day soon this is all gonna end One day soon maybe it'll all begin What a fine mess Pretty fine indeed But it's just too much for me For me and my washing machine
