My Dog lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do I look familiar
In your beholding eye
Do you see the beauty
That you had known as just a child

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I
Don't wanna die in my home town
So I hope you find a way out
Cause I'll go where you go
And I
Turn my back and we're in California
And I'm taking your word for the good and bad

[Chorus]
You don't know it all
But I see the world
As if you said that you did

[Verse 2]
And I often feel like
A ghost story waiting to happen
Some times when the lights go out
I stare at myself till my face starts morphing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then I
Close my eyes and I am following you
Through a stranger's house
Because I still go where you go
And I
Turn the corner and don't recognize this place
It's nothing like my childhood home

[Chorus]
You don't know it all
But I see the world
As if you said that you did

[Bridge]
And there's a guard dog out back salivating
On something I hope was never alive
If I throw a bone I doubt he'd take it
Cause he ain't raised by you nor I
And if I stand down and let him charge
I hope he'd wait before the bite
And you'd learn to whistle just to save me
But he ain't raised by you nor I

[Outro]
And I hope you take it fine
And I'll see you on the day my dog dies
I hope you take it fine
And I'll see you on the day my dog dies
I hope you take it fine
And I'll see you on the day my dog dies
I hope you take it fine
