Puppy

Summer spread its wings, grilling meat and burning out
Grady lost his mother, now he's sleeping on my couch

And I've never felt loss like that
And I pray I don't have to
See him staring way out
Puppy dog trapped in a smoke grey Honda

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever (mmh)
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever

August was a daze hell and heaven all at once
Spilling out the duplex lacerated by first love

And we're wishing we could take it back
And we're learning discomfort
And we know that when you make plans
It doesn't go like that

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever (mmh)
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever

Shadowboxing the fear of death
Wim Wenders movies and awkward sex
Big mulberry stain on the tennis dress
I'm a star, I don't care what your roommate says
Wonder if the world might make sense
When we've got three kids and our thirties end
But we're all scared kids and it don't make sense
We're all scared kids

I know some things don't get easier
I know some things hurt forever
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever (mmh)
Hurt forever (mmh), hurt forever
