Dog
Ink, Intoxication, and Intricacies: Unraveling Nat Harvie's Poetic Melody
Lyrics
honey tell me do you like my tattoos
Honey, inquire about my tattoos and express your liking for them.
for you remember their names and you remember theirs too
Recall the names of my tattoos and the stories behind them, just as I remember yours.
if it makes you sick, that's alright
If my tattoos disturb you, it's acceptable.
if it makes you worry, then I will worry too
If they cause you concern, I'll share in that worry.
if it makes you sick, that's alright
If my tattoos make you uncomfortable, that's fine.
if it makes you worry, then worry
If they cause you anxiety, I will also be anxious.
Henry there is food but it is cooking itself
Henry, there's food, but it's preparing itself.
while I am taking a shower while you are sleeping it off
I'm showering while you sleep off the effects of drinking.
if you drank too much that's alright
If you've consumed too much alcohol, it's acceptable.
if you drank too little then I won't drink at all
If you've drunk too little, I won't drink either.
if you drank too much, that's alright
If you've had too much to drink, that's fine.
if you drank too little, then I don't know
If you've drunk too little, I'm uncertain how to respond.
I feed my dog and my dog bites me
I provide for my dog, but it bites me in return.
this man is a dog and this dog wants to sleep
A man is like a dog, desiring rest.
I can't make my boyfriend act just like me
I cannot make my boyfriend behave exactly like me.
I can't force my man to speak
I cannot compel my man to communicate in my manner.
Olivia forgive me while I shout in the dark
Olivia, pardon my loud expression in the dark.
while I twice wash my hands, while I cash a couple old checks
While washing my hands twice, I cash some old checks.
from the man that had kissed you
Referring to a man who once kissed you.
the same man who had kissed me but just for Halloween
He kissed both you and me, but it was just a Halloween act.
a man who had known you, but not like he knows me
He knew you differently from how he knows me.
Henry there is supper on the table for you
Henry, there's supper ready for you on the table.
and now its getting so cold that you could hardly even eat it anymore
It's getting so cold that you may struggle to eat it.
and that's alright, if you ain't hungry then I'll go on ahead
If you're not hungry, I'll proceed ahead.
maybe this is not your supper, maybe that was not our bed
Perhaps this isn't your meal, or that wasn't our bed.
I bite my dog and my dog bites me
I provoke my dog, and it bites me in return.
this man is a dog and this dog bites me too
A man, like a dog, bites me as well.
I use to call you my emerald ash-bore
I used to affectionately call you my "emerald ash-bore."
I wish you could watch me shaking you
I wish you could witness my emotional turmoil caused by missing you.
