Laundry Softener Cap

[Intro]

(Twist) Softener —

Cap clicks shut

[Verse 1]

Basement light on quiet drums, I pour a circle slow,

I twist the cap until it seals — a tiny yes I know;

Plastic ridge like a soft hello, the scent stays kind and clear,

If care can fit in one small twist, then I can leave it here.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the twist... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Little plastic yes against my palm;

Clothes come home a little soft, clothes come home a little soft,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Warm air dryer hum, quiet grin;

Clothes come home a little soft, clothes come home a little soft,

Twist it once and I begin.

[Verse 2]

Later on I fold the shirts where the warmth still stays,

No speech required, just a hand that kept a promise small;

I stack the towels like a soft parade — the cap rests on the shelf,

Ordinary care in basement light is how I make it home.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hold the twist... breathe in...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Little plastic yes against my palm;

Clothes come home a little soft, clothes come home a little soft,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Warm air dryer hum, quiet grin;

Clothes come home a little soft, clothes come home a little soft,

Twist it once and I begin.

[Bridge]

Not every brave thing needs a stage,

Some of them fit in a cap I saved;

Plastic and hope in equal parts —

Ink looks good on a starting day.

[Final Chorus]

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Little plastic yes against my palm;

Clothes come home a little soft, clothes come home a little soft,

If the room feels kind, that's fair —

Laundry softener cap — I'm sealing in,

Warm air dryer hum, quiet grin;

Clothes come home a little soft — and I begin,

Twist it once and I begin.

[Outro]

(Twist) Softener...

Clothes come soft.
