A Dog Song

When you left home for work with your bag,

I wasn't sure that you'd ever come back.

And I guess I fucked up 'cause you came home so sad.

'Kay, I'll never piss on the carpet again.

Now we spend all our nights in your car, and I fall asleep while I'm hearing you talk about second opinions and nurses and charts.

I'm not sure what that means, so I slowly doze off.

Can we pause right here, right now?

While everyone I love is still in my house, no one's calling the cops 'cause we're fighting too loud.

Can it stay like this right here, right now?

Can we stay like this right here, right now?

I hope we don't move again.

They lost half my shit, those dumb moving men. And where did your dad go?

Did they also lose him? Well, I found you this stick.

I hope that it helps, 'cause the people that love you can disappear, too.

And sometimes goodbye doesn't mean be back soon, but I'm here forever, man, don't look so blue.

'Cause wherever you're going, I'm going, too.

Can we pause right here, right now?

While everyone I love is still in my house, no one's calling the cops 'cause we're fighting too loud.

Can it stay like this right here, right now? Can we stay like this right here, right now?

Last night, I found you staring at the ceiling, alone in your room.

Though I don't know what it is you're going through, buddy, wherever you're going, I'm going, too.

Buddy, wherever you're going, I'm going, too.

Hey, hi, kiddo!
