"...because I feel like there's nothing funny or fun about the song,
But anyway...
Uh, ok well, you get to recording, and I'll be here doing nothing."
"...I'm sure you're doing something of note."
There's a sick dog in the driveway
Just watching the kids roam
His time is near
And soon he'll have to go
They said he moved to the mountains
And that he felt at home
But I know he was buried
In the backyard
All alone
Who could've told you it would end?
They never told you it began
There's a kettle on the table
Full of tea that I won't drink
I made it to feel better
About the words I didn't mean
Some hearts are full of kindness
Others full of coal
While mine is of the latter
You'll need it when you're cold
I'm a two-trick-pony riding your coattails to the sun
But I loved you then
And I love you now
Can't we finish what we've begun?
Who could've told you it would end?
They never told you it began
That old oak tree came crashing
Through the roof today
In a moment of its passion
It broke down and started to sway
It finally could rest easy
After all the storms
Those splinters they flew high above
Reaching out to the mighty Lord
Now when it rains
I feel it
Dripping on my forehead
And it's hard to sleep in our bed
Cause there's a hole right to the sky
Sometimes I reach across the sheets
And I swear i see you in the moonlight
Then I wipe the tears from my eyes
And I sleep in our bed alone
Who could've told me it would end?
They never told me it began
(... I mean, I've never really had a dog, but I don't know.
I'm more of a cat person, I guess...)
