Snooze Button with Paws

I was born to run
Built to roam
But this old couch
Feels like home

Morning came through the curtains wide
I rolled over on my side
You said, "Big day, little friend"
I wagged one time at the end

Ball in the basket, leash on the chair
Whole wide world waiting out there
But I found peace where the cushions slide
Nose tucked low, one eye wide

I hear your coffee, I hear your feet
I hear that wrapper from across the street
Might be dreaming, might be wise
Might be working with closed eyes

Call me brave
Call me slow
I defend this house
From way down low

I'm a snooze button with paws
A soft little pause
A blanket with a heartbeat
And muddy little claws

I'm a snooze button with paws
No need to talk
Rub my sleepy forehead
And let me keep my spot

I barked last night at one small sound
Could have been danger coming round
Could have been the ice tray too
Either way, I came through

Curled up tight like a cinnamon bun
Half in shade and half in sun
Dreaming of fields, wide and sweet
With dinner waiting at my feet

You sit down, I scoot in close
That's the part I love the most
I steal space, yeah, maybe true
But I keep one ear for you

I'm a snooze button with paws
A soft little pause
A blanket with a heartbeat
And muddy little claws

I'm a snooze button with paws
No need to talk
Rub my sleepy forehead
And let me keep my spot

When your day comes in too loud
I can bring the quiet down
One warm head upon your knee
That's my kind of bravery

No big speech, no grand parade
Just the little nest we made
You breathe out, I breathe too
That's my job next to you

I'm a snooze button with paws
Your soft little pause
A blanket with a heartbeat
And muddy little claws

I'm a snooze button with paws
Love without applause
I'll guard your quiet morning
And let you keep your spot

Big world outside
Small dream inside
Good dog resting

By your side
