Washing Machine Lyrics - Amy Lavere

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
