portrait of a dog

If there’s one thing I know it’s you

And there’s something about

How you were holding onto grief

The tide doesn’t change the sea

But it sure sinks it’s teeth in me

If I’m holding onto you

Remember our little world

We built it with our own two hands

Which makes it twice as sad

That we might not get it back

Recall it’s art class at the laundromat

And we draw with your crayons it’s a map

You know when to stop

It’s little Italy on the back

Well if there’s one thing I know it’s you

And there’s something about

How you were holding onto grief

The tide doesn’t change the sea

But it sure sinks it’s teeth in me

If i’m holding onto you

Well see my memory’s intact

And I don’t love you any less

So why can’t I remember you

There’s your portrait of a dog

And the apartment is a mess

So why can’t I remember you

If there’s one thing I know it’s you

And there’s something about

How you were holding onto grief

The tide doesn’t change the sea

But it sure sinks it’s teeth in me

If i’m holding onto you

If there’s one thing I know it’s you

And there’s something about

How you were holding onto grief

The tide doesn’t change the sea

But it sure sinks it’s teeth in me

If i’m holding onto you
