[[Intro — snowy synths, soft shivers, cup clink, distant child choir]]
Oi… ah… ay…
Hug me… I’m not dirty, just cold
His buttons are lucky charms, his socks hold dreams
---
[[Verse 1 — soft beat, quiet meows, footsteps in snow]]
I wear a scarf made of clouds
My shoes sing as I walk around
My home is moonlight behind a pine
And every alley cat says “hey” like it’s fine
He hums with the wind, sleeps under stars
In a candy jar, he hides his scars
No keys, no papers, no official address
But he dreams for the world nonetheless
---
[[Pre-Chorus — metal bowl clinks, whispered choir, one tiny "meow"]]
Oi-oi… ay-ay… hug me… sigh
He gave his blanket to a squirrel
And speaks to pigeons like they’re pearls
---
[[Chorus — child choir chanting "oi-ai", glittery percussion]]
Oi-oi-oi! Ay-ay-ay!
He's full of holes but don’t pass by!
Ah-ah-ah! Wee-wee-wee!
He gave a bee his last cookie!
Meow-meow-meow! Sniff-sniff-sniff…
He dances with frost and brings back bliss
Ah! Oi! Just hug him tight!
He’s a little bit lost, but full of light
---
[[Verse 2 — slow accordion, wind whooshes, one sad meow]]
Rain wrote a letter on my cheek
I drew a smile in fog on the street
My crown is cans and bottle tops
And I kissed a puppy on the bus stop
People stare — then disappear
But I sing… in case someone hears
I’ve got no bed, but I’ve got songs
My cheeks freeze… but my heart holds on
---
[[Bridge — heartbeat slows, soft snowfall, breathy whispers]]
Ah… ay… oi… sniff… sigh… hold me
I’m like marshmallow in the rain
It hurts, but I don’t blame
---
[[Final Chorus — stronger drums, brighter choir, gentle chaos]]
Oi-oi-oi! Ay-ay-ay!
I’m hot soup in a world of gray
Ah-ah-ah! Hug-hug-hug!
I found a kitten in a coffee mug
Meow-meow-meow! Sniff-sniff-sniff…
I give, even when I got no gift
Ah! Ay! Just hug me please…
Even sad hearts need a little peace
---
[[Outro — soft meow, wind fades, tiny kiss sound]]
I’m not homeless…
I’m just between hugs
