Dog
Longing and Love: A Journey with the Dog
Lyrics
One hundred fifty-two miles
Expressing a specific distance of 152 miles.
Till I'm bathing in the light of his smile
Anticipation of reaching a joyful moment symbolized by the light of someone's smile.
Got the dog in the back & we sing along to Humble Pie
Accompanied by a dog, enjoying a journey while singing along to music (Humble Pie).
I scream your name out loud just to hear it roll around inside
Yearning for the experience of calling out a loved one's name and savoring its resonance.
The air we breathe
Acknowledging the shared environment and atmosphere.
Dog & me
Highlighting the companionship between the speaker and the dog.
Both agree
Both the dog and the speaker agree on the significance of the mentioned person.
You're exactly what we need
Stating that the person being referred to is exactly what they both need.
Dog don't tell him that you know I think the world of him & just how alone I feel when we're apart
Requesting the dog not to reveal the depth of admiration and loneliness felt when separated from the person.
And dog don't tell him that I've already carved his name into the tender flesh of my heart
Mentioning a symbolic act of deep emotional connection, carving the person's name into the heart.
Now it's only 20 more miles
Indicating a reduced distance of 20 miles in the journey.
& I've already shut down my profile
Announcing the closure of a personal profile, possibly related to an online presence or connection.
Got the dog in the back howlin' songs 'cause she knows we're getting close to the exit where we turn off
With the dog in tow, expressing excitement and howling as they approach a significant point in the journey.
God my hands are sweating
Physical reaction to nervousness or anticipation during the approaching moment.
We can see
Recognition of the shared experience between the speaker and the dog.
Dog & me
Reiteration of the agreement between the dog and the speaker on the significance of the mentioned person.
Both agree
Reaffirmation that the person is exactly what they both need.
You're exactly what we need
Concluding the expression of the person's importance and relevance to both the speaker and the dog.
