Paws and Heartbeats

[Verse] Monday morning claws in my hand A barking choir my one-woman band Scrubbed in tight no time to stand [Prechorus] I hold a life between my palms One breath gone then it comes back calm [Chorus] Paws and heartbeats highs and lows Saving souls in scrubs and bows Tears in my eyes fur on my clothes This is the life I chose [Verse 2] Cats with sass and dogs that bite Hamsters spinning into the night Cleaning cages under the flickering light [Prechorus] A wagging tail a grateful look No textbook taught the love they took [Chorus] Paws and heartbeats highs and lows Saving souls in scrubs and bows Tears in my eyes fur on my clothes This is the life I chose
