[Verse 1] I found you by the folding door Blue socks, one patch on the knee You laughed when the spinner kicked And shook a little rain on me A paper cup, a plastic chair Your name half-melted on the lid You said, “I lose my lucky things” I said, “Maybe that’s how they live” [Pre-Chorus] Spin it slow, spin it fast All these little things still pass But your hand brushed mine at the machine And the room went soft and clean [Chorus] Quarter in the dryer Don’t let it disappear Quarter in the dryer Stay a little here I was only passing by Then you pulled me near Quarter in the dryer Quarter in the dryer [Verse 2] We watched the towels turn white and gold Like flags in a windless town You tied your hair with a receipt And asked if I was coming round The floor was loud with sneakers and coins A kid was kicking at a wall You smiled like you knew a song That could make the whole place fall [Pre-Chorus] Spin it slow, spin it fast All these little things still pass But your voice hit me like a spark In the hum and heat and dark [Chorus] Quarter in the dryer Don’t let it disappear Quarter in the dryer Stay a little here I was only passing by Then you pulled me near Quarter in the dryer Quarter in the dryer [Bridge] [Breakdown] If the machine stops dead We can stand here instead No grand plan, no map, no sign Just your sleeve against mine [Chorus] Quarter in the dryer Don’t let it disappear Quarter in the dryer Stay a little here I was only passing by Then you pulled me near Quarter in the dryer Quarter in the dryer
