[Verse 1] I drop my keys by the shoe pile You’re already on patrol One sniff at the left one, two at the right Like a detective with a nose for soul You circle twice, collecting data Tail writing notes against the wall Then your nose finds my hand at last And the whole day gets small [Pre-Chorus] You don’t ask where I’ve been You just check who walked in [Chorus] Through the doorway, I can breathe you in You remind me where love begins Shoe-pile proof, hoodie whole-house truth Every little trace says, “I know you” One wet kiss and my defenses quit No big speech, just a snuffle and a fit You read my heart before I let me I can tell you’re you, and you can tell you’re me [Verse 2] Some days I bring home thunder Some days I’m wrong and proud We can leave a fight unfinished But you won’t let the room stay loud You press your forehead to my knuckles Like forgiveness has a weight Then you lean into my knee so hard The apology can’t wait [Pre-Chorus] You don’t pick a side You pick the place I hide [Chorus] Through the doorway, I can breathe you in You remind me where love begins Workday dust, raincoat, bad-day blues Your nose translates me back to you One wet kiss and my defenses quit No big speech, just a snuffle and a fit You read my heart before I let me I can tell you’re you, and you can tell you’re me [Bridge] Blanket says nap, boots say go Keys say dinner, bowl says so That old hoodie holds the whole house close Your warm little head knows the most Leash coming off the hook at five Best evidence we’re both alive You map our family one breath at a time Then make my lost little heart fall in line [Final Chorus] Through the doorway, I can breathe you in You remind me where love begins Shoe-pile proof, hoodie whole-house truth Every little trace says, “I know you” One wet kiss and the hard day quits You turn a bad mood into a tail-wag hit We learned each other, breath by breath, gently I can tell you’re you, and you can tell you’re me [Outro] Sniff test for the heart, you pass every time Nose to my hand, and your whole world finds mine Through the doorway, I can breathe you in You remind me where love begins
