[Verse 1] Ceiling fan ticking out a count I don't keep Glass on the nightstand gone flat for a week Your shirt in my basket, I swore I'd send it back Washed it on Sunday, then washed it again Third wash and the collar's just detergent now Cotton don't remember what a body sounds like I keep the sleeve up to my mouth anyhow Breathe in the soap like it's your half of the night [Pre-Chorus] Sun cuts the blinds to a ladder on the floor I don't climb it, I just let it move Everybody swears it gets easy after four Four what, baby? I ain't seen the proof [Chorus] Slow light, slow light, coming through anyway I'm not ready, I just leave the window wide Slow light, slow light, take your own sweet time The shirt dries slow and so do I [Verse 2] Girl at the laundromat asked if I was good Said yeah too quick, then I said it again slower Machine take a quarter, machine take the smell Everything I own coming out the same shade I don't miss you loud, I miss you in the rinse The quiet part, the spin, the part that don't end Folded you flat, laid you low on the shelf Third wash, fourth wash, learning my own scent [Chorus] Slow light, slow light, coming through anyway I'm not ready, I just leave the window wide Slow light, slow light, take your own sweet time The shirt dries slow and so do I [Bridge] Bought the wrong soap on purpose Thursday Green one, sharp one, nothing like you Stood in the aisle just holding the bottle Learning a smell I don't have to lose [Outro] Third wash, fourth wash Slow light, slow light Take your own sweet time The shirt dries slow and so do I
