Hugz 'N Pawz

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The door swung wide and I made my dash,
Chasin’ butterflies, runnin’ through the grass.
Every streetlight blinked like a brand-new game,
I was free, I was wild, didn’t need no name.

[Pre-Chorus]
But the sun went down, and the streets got cold,
Suddenly the world felt big and old.

[Chorus]
Shoulda stayed home, layin’ by your chair,
Shoulda stayed home, with your fingers in my hair.
It was fun for a while, but the night’s too long,
Guess even lost pups write regretful songs.

[Verse 2]
Met a raccoon band and a stray named Lou,
Shared a garbage can — yeah, the night felt new.
But my tail lost wag when the stars came out,
All I wanted was your voice to shout.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the moon’s my lamp and the road’s my bed,
But I dream of your arms and the words you said.

[Chorus]
Shoulda stayed home, layin’ by your chair,
Shoulda stayed home, with your fingers in my hair.
It was fun for a while, but the night’s too long,
Guess even lost pups write regretful songs.

[Bridge]
Every dog thinks freedom’s sweet,
’Til the echo of their heart skips a beat.
Now I’m wishin’ on the break of day,
To see your face when I find my way.

[Chorus]
Shoulda stayed home, but I’ll get there soon,
Howl my love under a silver moon.
It was fun for a while, but the night’s too long,
Can’t wait to be back where I belong.

[Outro]
Yeah… shoulda stayed home.
