[Verse 1] Two leashes in my hand, sun in my eyes Thinking 'bout that email, the one with the big surprise Should I push back on the deadline, or just let it slide? Then Buster spots a squirrel, tugs me to the side. "Hey, Buster, wait up! Buddy, not so fast!" My thoughts all scattered, a moment built to last Just disappeared like smoke, into the morning air Now where was I going with that, beyond compare? [Verse 2] The pavement's getting warmer, a good hour's passed Still mulling over options, trying to make them last That tricky conversation, the one I need to start With a friend who's hurting, breaking my own heart. Gotta find the right words, gentle but still clear... Then Buddy sees a poodle, pulls with all his cheer! "Buddy, no, come on now! Leave that poor dog be!" My carefully built arguments, just gone from me. Back to square one, walking these two clowns, you see.
