once more with feeling

You threw my hand back at me, said remember where we are You walked ten steps ahead of me back to my car And you asked why I had so many keys on my chain As you tugged the one around my neck that has a tag with your name Cause you know I can bark, but that I'll never bite I just cower in the corner, cause I'm too afraid to fight And I won't run away, cause it's not in my nature And you'll pet me on the head and praise me for my good behavior But if I am the dog, then you are the bone Burying yourself under layers of dirt so you can't be shown Then I'll sniff you out and find you And you'll bury yourself a little further so the chase can continue But I'll get tired and want to go home And you'll be waiting in the dirt all alone You are a ghostwriter at twenty-one years old Living out stories you'll say someone else told And I hope one day you become your own dog and bone So you can find yourself outside the context of your home And the house of some ambivalent god Cause if he doesn't love you for who you are and who you love, he's a fraud And I'm not a god, but god, I loved you I am not a god, but god, I loved you I am not a god, but god, damn, I loved you I am not a god, but god, how I loved you I am not a god, but god, I love you I am not a god, but god, I love you I am not a god, but god, how I love you
