Paws and Quiet Moments

[Intro]
Little paws and gentle licks, making me feel so trapped, oh no

[Verse 1]
They sit by my side, soft eyes, pawing at the world with tiny clips
Endless licking, tirelessly, a little ritual that never slips
It's a daily song, they hum along, their silent plea, their quiet shows
Trying to ease their stress somehow, in every lick, the worry grows

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I feel the tension, winding tight, it's breaking me apart inside
But they come close and curl up tight, under my worries, they hide

[Chorus]
Why do they lick, all day long? Is it comfort, is it pain?
I just wanna find some peace, before I go insane
They want to stay, on top of me, even mess and all
Can’t take the endless cycle, feeling small, feeling small

[Verse 2]
Days blend into endless nights, their little habits storying my fuss
Their need for reassurance, like a whisper, making everything so rough
I try to understand, but I’m losing grip, losing patience every hour
Wish I could find a little peace, a moment’s calm, some quiet power

[Pre-Chorus]
In their eyes, I see the worry, in their lick, a silent cry
Maybe it’s their way to wander, through the worry and the why

[Chorus]
Why do they lick, all day long? Is it comfort, is it pain?
I just wanna find some peace, before I go insane
They want to stay, on top of me, even mess and all
Can’t take the endless cycle, feeling small, feeling small

[Bridge]
Could there be a reason, behind each lick and paw?
A little vet’s consult, maybe find out what they saw?
Or maybe it’s just the worry, we all carry in our hearts
Trying to stay close, trying to heal, when everything falls apart

[Outro]
So I hold them close, amidst the mess, and hope we find some grace
Their little licks remind me, that love is a messy, gentle place
The cycles may go on, but love can break through every wall
Even in the chaos, I hear their call, and I’ll be here through it all
