[Verse 1]
Tiny heart racing
Paws on the floor
You watch the doorway
You guard the door
Come a little closer
Lay by my side
Nothing out there, love
Safe on this tide
[Chorus]
Gentle paws, slow down
You’re okay now
You’re okay now
Every breath, breathe out
I’m right here now
I’m right here now
Rest your head on me
Let the world go by
Gentle paws, slow down
Close your bright eyes
[Verse 2]
Thunder in the distance
Strange car outside
Ears up, tail stiff
You want to hide
Soft hand on your shoulder
Name in a sigh
“Good dog, good dog”
Over and over, quiet
[Chorus]
Gentle paws, slow down
You’re okay now
You’re okay now
Every breath, breathe out
I’m right here now
I’m right here now
Rest your head on me
Let the world go by
Gentle paws, slow down
Close your bright eyes
[Bridge]
If you hear that sound, it’s alright (mm)
If the dark looks big, stay with me (hey)
Every little tremble, I will see
Every little worry, leave it here
[Chorus]
Gentle paws, slow down
You’re okay now
You’re okay now
Every breath, breathe out
I’m right here now
I’m right here now
Rest your head on me
Let the world go by
Gentle paws, slow down
Close your bright eyes
