Keep The Dog

Oh, what a life to fit in cardboard boxes

The car outside, the empty hallway closet

We were dancing in the kitchen

Now we're packing up the dishes

When did we become so distant?

If we can't work this out

Then I'll take the couch

Cause I can't fall asleep in the bedroom

And you'll take the house

Cause it won't be a home there without you

Oh, I'll shut my mouth

You can keep all our mutual friends, too

Just let me keep the dog

Just let me keep the dog

Oh, what I'd do for something to remember

Some kind of proof of what we built together

There were times I could have listened

And some times you played the victim

But for what it's worth, I'll miss it

If we can't work this out

Then I'll take the couch

Cause I can't fall asleep in the bedroom

And you'll take the house

Cause it won't be a home there without you

Oh, I'll shut my mouth

You can keep all our mutual friends, too

Just let me keep the dog

Just let me keep the dog

Turned off the lights, took down the pictures

Everything ends, but let me be clear - I know there was love here

It was the red door, the U-haul, karaoke, New York, we both had the bleached hair

Yeah that was fun, I know there was love here
