[Intro]
Found your toy beneath the bed
Small bell
Broken thread
Dust in the sun where you once lay
Silent doorway
Saying your name
[Verse 1]
You were thunder on the hardwood
Tiny storm in midnight eyes
Chasing ghosts along the hallway
Now it’s just the humming quiet
I still half-expect your shadow
Cut the corner
Climb my chest
Hear the vet say faulty heartbeat
But it’s mine that never rests
[Chorus]
Gaia
Come home
I keep calling through the rooms we owned
Gaia
Come home
My hands still reach for a weight that’s gone
Gaia
Young flame
You burned out before you learned your name
Heart did you wrong
Now my heart beats your missing song
[Verse 2]
Food bowl waiting in the kitchen
Water still and way too cold
Collar hanging from the doorknob
Like a circle left untold
I replay that final morning
Every breath
Each shallow cry
I was begging for a bargain
Heaven took you
Left me "why?"
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If there’s a window in the beyond
Scratch the frame until it falls apart
Leave your fur along the starlight
So I can follow with this fractured heart
[whispered vocals]
Guy-yuh
I still hear you
Guy-yuh
In every quiet room
[crescendo]
I’ll carry you in every scar I hide
Four small paws pressed into my spine
[Chorus]
