Met you in a cardboard box
Chewed my laces
Chased my socks
Tiny paws on hardwood floors
You grew up as I outgrew doors
You were there when Dad moved out
Sat beside me through the doubt
Soaked the couch with quiet eyes
Like you’d gladly trade my cries
Old dog
Same heart
Every ending
Every start
You’ve seen all my broken parts
Still you wag like I’m a work of art
Oh my first call
When life falls apart
Old dog
Same heart
Stayed awake on highway drives
Head on my knee
Saving lives
Heard my secrets
Heard my lies
Never asked me to apologize
Grey on your muzzle now
Stairs a little slower somehow
But when I say your name out loud
You still dance like I make you proud (yeah)
Old dog
Same heart
Every ending
Every start
You’ve seen all my broken parts
Still you wag like I’m a work of art
If there’s a heaven
We won’t be apart
Old dog
Same heart
