Right. My name is Rinus. I'm two kilos. And apparently, I'm in charge here. I live on beds and sofas I get carried everywhere Sometimes I'm underneath your arm Sometimes I'm just… there I don't know much about the world I haven't got a clue But I've become quite good at knowing When the day has been too much for you You don't have to tell me You don't have to explain I've seen you try to hold it in I've seen you fight the rain I'm Rinus, two kilos of comfort A floppy-eared professional friend I can't fix the things that hurt you But I'll stay here until the end You can put the world down for a minute You can breathe and close your eyes I'm not much, just fur and stuffing But I'm here when the world feels unkind I'm Rinus. That's my job tonight. I've heard you overthink a thousand things That haven't happened yet I've watched you replay conversations You'd probably rather forget I wouldn't say I understand it Your human brain's a funny place But if squeezing me makes things feel better I'll gladly take my place I've survived some crazy situations That I never signed up for Sometimes I'm drowning in the washing machine Sometimes I'm waking on the floor One minute I'm your therapist The next I'm in the wash I'm two kilos of emotional support Not two kilos of laundry, boss! I haven't got solutions I haven't got advice I'm not particularly clever But I'm excellent at being nice I'm Rinus, two kilos of comfort A floppy-eared professional friend I can't fix the things that hurt you But I'll stay here until the end You can put the world down for a minute You can breathe and close your eyes I'm not much, just fur and stuffing But I'm here when the world feels unkind I'm Rinus. That's my job tonight. Now, I know I'm just a little dog With a nose that's mostly black And if you put me on the sofa There's a chance I'll stay right where I'm at But you keep coming back to hold me On the days that weigh you down And if I make the world feel lighter Then I'm happy being round Two kilos isn't much, you know Not when the world gets tough But sometimes being small and soft Can be more than enough I'm Rinus, two kilos of comfort Your unofficial faithful friend I can't promise sunny mornings Or make every hard day end But you can put the world down for a minute You can breathe and close your eyes I'll be right here, just as always Your small safe place on difficult nights I'm Rinus. And I'm staying. Right. I think that's enough emotional work for one evening. I'm going to sit here now. You know where to find me. Rinus out.
