Lyric

Key in the door

You’re already barking

Spinning in circles

Like you’ve been counting the hours

Shoes half-tied

Phone still glowing

But your leash in my hand

Is the only thing that matters

Tiny paws on the tile

Tap out my heart rate

You tilt your head

Like you can read my mind

Run, run, run with my dog

Through the quiet streets, through the fog

Breath in the air, let it burn

Every corner’s ours when we turn

Run, run, run with my dog

When the world feels heavy and wrong

You look back once, then you grin

And I remember how to begin

Late-night park

Swing chains squeaking

Vending light buzz

On your silver tag

You chase shadows

I chase feelings

But we both come back

When I call your name

You don’t ask what I did

You just nuzzle my sleeve

As if to say

“hey, you stayed, that’s enough”

Run, run, run with my dog

Through the quiet streets, through the fog

Breath in the air, let it burn

Every corner’s ours when we turn

Run, run, run with my dog

When the world feels heavy and wrong

You look back once, then you grin

And I remember how to begin

Someday the sky will open wide

And I’ll be afraid again

But you’ll tug the line, tug my life

Toward some unknown corner, then

I’ll laugh and lose my breath

Chasing you across the grass

Every second, every step

I pray this feeling lasts

Run, run, run with my dog

Through the quiet streets, through the fog

Breath in the air, let it burn

Every corner’s ours when we turn

Run, run, run with my dog

When the world feels heavy and wrong

You look back once, then you grin

And I remember how to begin
