[Intro] (glassy synth chime) (warm pad swells in) (clean electric piano motif) (distant dishwasher hum under the synths) [Verse 1] It’s 12:03 Apartment hum, TV asleep Last mug in the sink Stares me down like it knows me Soft light, cheap tile I’ve been dodging this pile All week, every night All these forks, all these fights [Chorus] I got the midnight dishwasher blues Loading up regrets by twos Plates and promises, stained and used Let the hot water tell the truth Yeah, I got the midnight dishwasher blues Rinsing off the day with you [Post-Chorus] Midnight… Dishwasher blues Oh-oh… [Verse 2] Wine ring on the rim Lipstick ghost where you’d been Your note by the soap “Back soon” from three months ago I stack what we broke Little chips in every bowl Hit start, then wait For the quiet that it makes [Chorus] I got the midnight dishwasher blues Loading up regrets by twos Plates and promises, stained and used Let the hot water tell the truth Yeah, I got the midnight dishwasher blues Rinsing off the day with you [Interlude] (dishwasher rhythm under shimmering synth arpeggio) (soft vocal echo) Midnight… Still running… [Bridge] [Band drops softer] Steam on the glass I trace your name, then wipe it back This was our life Up on the top rack [Final Chorus] I got the midnight dishwasher blues Midnight dishwasher blues Loading up regrets by twos Plates and promises, stained and used Let the hot water tell the truth Yeah, I got the midnight dishwasher blues Rinsing off the day with you [Outro] (shimmering synths fade wider) (dishwasher hum remains) How long you gonna hang around? Oh-oh… Still running… (synth fades)
