[Verse 1] You left your leash by the mat And I still hear your little feet The bowl is dry by the sink But I set out two treats Your paw prints fade in the hall Still warm in my mind I call your name in the frame And the room stays behind [Pre-Chorus] I try to act like I’m fine But the ache knows my face One empty spot on the floor One empty place [Chorus] Paws at the door I still wait for you Paws at the door My heart keeps the proof You were my light You were my home Paws at the door And I’m not alone [Verse 2] Milo leans on my knee Like he knows what I lost June won’t leave the blue rug She’s counting the cost I found your red little ball Under the chair by the fire I held it close for a while And I cried out the wire [Pre-Chorus] If love could call you back I’d shout through the rain I’d stand there all night long Say your name again [Chorus] Paws at the door I still wait for you Paws at the door My heart keeps the proof You were my light You were my home Paws at the door And I’m not alone [Bridge] Now the house feels too big Like it’s holding its breath But your friends in the yard Keep me close to the edge So I light one small lamp For the years that we knew And I let the soft hurt Make a space for you [Final Chorus] Paws at the door I still wait for you Paws at the door My heart keeps the proof You were my light You were my home Paws at the door And I’m not alone
