I wasn't looking for a savior when you first showed up I was just hoping you would calm down once you were all grown up and You were a little bit of terror, taken care of by six convicts in a castle by the park You used to run away until dark, and only started coming back when we stopped chasing after You spend most nights tucked into my legs like a flea bite Nuzzling my knees like a furry puzzle piece I Match my breathing to yours and let our snoring compete
By the time I wake up you're tangled in my feet If they didn't stink I would think it's kind of sweet - The silent partner makes my ground floor complete And though I walk through the valley of shadows alone I have a hard time believing you have valleys of your own And that's the sickness of it all- I really love you because you exist only for me The only one who listens and agrees at all times The only fine I pay is belly scratching
