My Besties @SonicMystics

**[Verse 1]**

Caught in the rain

Middle of June

Laundromat hum

Stale perfume

You left in a rush

Phone in your hand

I watched one sock slip from your canvas bag

Tiny blue stripe

Rolling away

Out the front door

Into the gray

I should’ve said "hey"

But you were already gone

So I followed that sock like a trail you’d drawn

**[Chorus]**

I’m chasing your lost sock on the highway

Flapping on the shoulder like a small white flag

If I catch it

Maybe I’ll catch you

Maybe you’ll turn back

Maybe you’ll laugh

Who falls in love with a laundry mishap?

I guess I do

I guess I have

*[Verse 2]**

Cars flying past

Honking at me

I’m on the gravel

Grass on my jeans

That little thing dances

Just out of reach

Like it’s in on a joke I can’t quite see

I picture you waiting

Dryer still warm

Digging through the basket

Counting what’s gone

Cursing a pair

That never quite matched

Somehow that’s us

If I ever catch

**[Chorus]**

I’m chasing your lost sock on the highway

Flapping on the shoulder like a small white flag

If I catch it

Maybe I’ll catch you

Maybe you’ll turn back

Maybe you’ll laugh

Who falls in love with a laundry mishap?

I guess I do

I guess I have

**[Bridge]**

[Drums drop to half-time

Guitars cleaner]

What if you never notice?

What if you never care?

I’ll still have this crooked story

About almost meeting you there (oh-oh)

**[Chorus]**

I was chasing your lost sock on the highway

Flapping on the shoulder like a small white flag

I finally caught it

Folded it gently

Slid it in my pocket

Walked back home

If we ever meet

I’ll hold it up

Say

"I’ve had this piece of you

All along"
