Laundry on the Bed

Clean laundry on the bed
Made a promise to myself in my head
I won’t sleep till it’s all put away
I won’t leave it for another day
So I think I’ll be up for a while
Cuz laundry’s feeling like sprinting a mile
I’ve made it this far
Went downstairs where the machines are
I returned not once but twice
Even managed not to see any mice
Made it on time so my clothes weren’t thrown to the floor
While I waited I even did some other chores
So why now, is there
Clean laundry on the bed
Made a promise to myself in my head
I won’t sleep till it’s all put away
I won’t leave it for another day
So I think I’ll be up for a while
Cuz laundry’s feeling like sprinting a mile
I’ve made it this far
Went downstairs where the machines are
Made eye contact with two strangers
Managed to only feel a bit in danger
Dared to leave my basket in the laundry room
Didn’t get stolen this time, so why now can’t I resume?
Clean laundry on the bed
Made a promise to myself in my head
I won’t sleep till it’s all put away
I won’t leave it for another day
So I think I’ll be up for a while
Cuz laundry’s feeling like sprinting a mile
Turn the music up, open the windows
Think about how nice it’ll be to wear these clothes
Turn the music up, and sing along
Start with what feels easy, hope you know that you are strong
Clean laundry on the bed
Made a promise to myself in my head
I won’t sleep till it’s all put away
I won’t leave it for another day
