Wool in the Wash

Pearly
White mystery appeared before my eyes
Wriggling in the kitchen sink
In and out the bowl of fresh-picked

Berries
How suddenly I tried to flush them out
Water wasn’t strong enough
I just pretended that it was

If you want it, girl, go and get it
Pick the wound despite all that they say to you
What’s there to lose in making a move?
So, I washed my hands and took a hearty bite

Oh, how I got-
Oh, how I got so-

Finally
The mystery appeared before my eyes
Hearing her play in the grass
I took the marble from my hat to

Bury
Alone, I dug a hole into the dirt
My heart wasn't strong enough
I just pretended that it was
If you want it, girl, go and get It
Even if the pain is undeniable
Moving to lose, is making a move
So, I packed my bags and bought a ticket out

Oh, how I got-
Oh, how I got so-

If you “get it,” girl, do you want it?
Understanding and feeling are different
What’s there to lose if you’ve already lost?
So, I took my seat in the back of the car

Oh, how I got so small
Like a wool in the wash
Oh, how I got so small
Like a wool in the wash
