The Ice Machine Remembers

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Room three the key still warm

Verse 1

Key tag curling at the corner

A warm bottle sweating on the sill

Nothing moves except the ceiling fan

I count the tiles and lose the count again

Someone left a towel folded twice

The number on the door won't stay the same

Chorus

The ice machine remembers

The ice machine remembers

It starts again it starts again

And I forgive it every time

Verse 2

Afternoon keeps starting over

Same truck pulling into the same lot

Same two notes the guitar won't release

I laugh at how the quiet holds its shape

Curtains breathing slow and out of time

A stranger's radio behind the wall

Chorus

The ice machine remembers

The ice machine remembers

It starts again it starts again

And I forgive it every time

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Starts again

Verse 3

Nothing here is lost just rearranged

The hallway carpet keeps a darker line

I set my cup down where I set it yesterday

And the vending light hums on and on

Chorus

The ice machine remembers

The ice machine remembers

It starts again it starts again

And I forgive it every time

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Mm-hmm

Starts again
