about

From the extraordinary music writing duo, Wittchen & Wittchen (Alex: lyrics, Sam: music)

lyrics

While searching through my laundry hamper,
I found that black tank top you liked.
The one you said had changed the timbre,
Of every note you’d ever write.

And on that page,
Your notes would say
That you would always know the way.

When searching through my laundry hamper.
You found that note stuck in my blue jeans.
The one that seemed to put a damper,
On everything my words could mean.

And on that day,
My words would say
That I would always need my way.

And in the wash the colors bled
Black turned blue turned red.
And all your notes had changed their tune.

While searching through my laundry hamper,
I have to admit six months later.
I still can’t wear that damn black tank top.
It only makes me feel a traitor.

And someday
My words will say
How I’m so sorry and dismayed
Just for the way we did decay
And how I can’t make you go away

By searching through my laundry hamper.
