Dogs in our twenties

They don't miss a thing

Boxes up the staircase

Mattress on the floor

Dreaming out the window

Waiting by the door

Dogs in our twenties

Don't always get a yard

They put up with the first time

Figuring it out

Every little mistake

Every different town

Always there for all the long nights and the tears

All the change and wild and crazy in those years

All you ever wanted was love

All I ever wanted was more time

Even when we didn't have much

You stayed by my side

We grow up together

I don't know why

Dogs in our twenties can't live our whole lives

Dogs in our twenties

Help you pick your friends

The good ones and the bad ones

They can always tell

Know you even better

Than you know yourself

Dogs in our twenties

They teach you how to trust

They teach you that forgiveness

Takes a little work

And when you gotta let go, they teach you how to hurt

All you ever wanted was love

All I ever wanted was more time

Even when we didn't have much

You stayed by my side

We grow up together

I don't know why

Dogs in our twenties can't live our whole lives

Oh, I just wanna thank you for the years you had my back

You were the best friend I ever had

All you ever wanted was love

All I ever wanted was more time

Even when we didn't have much

You stayed by my side

We grow up together

I don't know why

Dogs in our twenties can't live our whole lives

Why can't dogs in our twenties live our whole lives?
