Lyrics
It's around 5am
Reference to the early morning, approximately 5 am.
First one up again
Being the first one awake again.
Eyes open and it begins
Opening one's eyes, the beginning of the day.
Footsteps from the other room
Awareness of someone approaching from another room.
I know they'll be here soon
Anticipation of someone's imminent arrival.
Open the door for me and you
Opening the door for oneself and another person.
Lights on and they rattle my cage
Turning on the lights and feeling confined or restricted.
ready to go but you wana stay
Ready to leave, but someone else wants to stay.
Always sleeping in too late
Critique of someone consistently sleeping in too late.
Big yawn and a stretch to wake
Expressing tiredness with a big yawn and stretch.
run around give my ears a shake
Engaging in physical activity to wake up.
Ready to start off the day
Feeling ready to begin the day.
I just want to be outside
Desire to be outdoors.
Hop the fence to run and hide
Escaping or avoiding by hopping a fence and hiding.
The wind that pops and hits my face
Sensation of wind hitting the face during outdoor activity.
Not gonna make me stop my chase
Determination not to be stopped in the pursuit.
and I hear them calling my name
Hearing one's name being called.
But somethings calling me the other way
Feeling pulled in a different direction.
But I can't loose my home today
Despite conflicting desires, not wanting to lose home.
I'm coming right back to you
Commitment to returning home.
Back in through the sliding door
Reentering through a sliding door.
Leaving tracks all on the floor
Leaving traces on the floor, possibly from outdoor activities.
Sitting for our sweet reward
Sitting down for a rewarding moment.
What a waste of a sunny day
Expressing regret for not making the most of a sunny day.
So why can't you stay
Questioning why someone can't stay.
Walking out like yesterday
Exiting a situation reminiscent of the previous day.
Howling in our little pack
Howling together as part of a group.
Waiting for you to come back
Waiting for someone to return.
I fell asleep just like that
Quickly falling asleep.
Afternoons are made for naps
Highlighting the appropriateness of napping in the afternoon.
When I wake will you be back
Questioning if someone will return after waking up.
A little rub and belly scratch
Expressing contentment with physical affection.
I just want to be outside
Reiteration of the desire to be outside.
Hop the fence to run and hide
Repeating the idea of escaping and hiding outdoors.
The wind that pops and hits my face
Recalling the sensation of wind during outdoor activity.
Not gonna make me stop my chase
Reaffirming determination not to be stopped.
and I hear them calling my name
Hearing one's name called again.
But somethings calling me the other way
Feeling pulled in a different direction again.
But I can't loose my home today
Despite conflicting desires, not wanting to lose home again.
I'm coming right back to you
Reiterating the commitment to return home.
