Lyrics
Verse 1
I still look down beside my feet
Like you’re gonna be asleep
Still leave a little room for you
Without meaning to
I swear I hear you down the hall
Turn around, there’s nothing at all
Funny how a house can stay the same
And somehow never feel that way
Pre-Chorus
‘Cause in every picture of my future
You were somewhere in the frame
I never made a single plan
Where you weren’t there with me
Chorus
You were supposed to be there
When I put on that white dress
Supposed to be waiting back at home
Making every good day better
You were supposed to get old
Red fur fading into white
I was supposed to have years of you
Sleeping at my feet each night
Now every beautiful thing I do
Will have a little missing piece
’Cause you were supposed to be there
Right there next to me
Verse 2
I’ll miss you waiting by the shower
Following me room to room
Acting like you didn’t need me
Then crawling close when you wanted to
I’ll miss that howl, those mismatched eyes
The stubborn way you lived your life
You never really learned to dog
But God, you knew how to be mine
Pre-Chorus
And I would’ve taken every gray hair
Every slower step someday
I would’ve loved the old man version
Of the boy I couldn’t make stay
Chorus
You were supposed to be there
When I put on that white dress
Supposed to be part of all the years
I haven’t even lived yet
You were supposed to get old
Red fur fading into white
I was supposed to have years of you
Sleeping at my feet each night
Now every beautiful thing I do
Will have a little missing piece
’Cause you were supposed to be there
Right there next to me
Bridge
Maybe that’s what a soul dog is
Not forever, but forever yours
The kind of love that leaves its paw prints
On every life you live from here
So when something good happens
And everybody’s smiling there
I know beneath my happiness
I’ll think, Fire should be here
Final Chorus
You were supposed to be there
For the woman I’ll become
For birthdays and Christmas mornings
And all the ordinary ones
I wanted to watch you get old
I wanted so much more time
A hundred years still wouldn’t feel
Like enough for you and I
So I’ll carry you through everything
Every place you should’ve been
You were my boy, my soul dog
My once-in-a-lifetime friend
And if I get another lifetime
I’ll find those mismatched eyes
And this time, Fire,
We’ll get all the time
We were supposed to have.
