[Verse 1] I got home like any day School shoes by the door Mom said, sit here for a second I did not know what for “Can you babysit?” I blinked and said, “For who?” My head was spinning in circles I could not read the room [Pre-Chorus] Then she leaned in slow Said, “Wait, listen now” “We need you steady” “Set the line, somehow” My chest got tight I tried to breathe Then she said my name And what she meant for me [Chorus] Apollo on the couch Apollo, that’s my dog Apollo on the couch I could hardly talk Black lab in my arms Proof right there in sight I thought it was a prank Then I cried that night (Apollo on the couch) [Verse 2] She said he’s on the waiting list The one I talked about The one I kept hoping for The one that came about Main handler, one-on-one Soulmate bond, she said And suddenly the whole whole world Went bright inside my head [Pre-Chorus] I was scared, I was shocked Then I felt it sink All that waiting, all that hope Right there in front of me I nodded fast Could hardly stand She showed me the proof And I held out my hand [Chorus] Apollo on the couch Apollo, that’s my dog Apollo on the couch I could hardly talk Black lab in my arms Proof right there in sight I thought it was a prank Then I cried that night (Apollo on the couch) [Bridge] One minute I was lost Next minute I was home You saw the part of me That wanted less alone If he needs one heart Then let it be mine I’ll learn every rule I’ll give him all my time [Final Chorus] Apollo on the couch Apollo, that’s my dog Apollo on the couch I could hardly talk Black lab in my arms Proof right there in sight I thought it was a prank Then I cried that night Apollo on the couch Apollo, stay close by Apollo on the couch That was my surprise (Apollo on the couch)
