Ace, My Whole World

[Verse 1]
You came running
Tongue out
Crooked smile
Big brown eyes
Head tilted for a while
I said "hey there
" you leaned into my hand
In that small front yard
My whole life changed its plan
[Chorus]
Ace
My whole world
My best friend
From that first hello to every late-night end
Two peas in a pod
You and me again and again
Ace
My whole world
My best friend
[Verse 2]
Muddy paws on my brand new jeans
You just wagged like "you know what this means"
Every walk turns into some wild game
Every hard day softer when I say your name
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
They call you “just a dog”
I laugh
They don’t understand
You’re the heartbeat in this house
Curled up
Nose in my hand
[low vocal register] I don’t know who I’d be
If you weren’t sleeping at my feet
[Chorus]

Warm acoustic pop with female vocals, gentle shaker and soft kick under fingerpicked guitar. Verses intimate and close-mic’d, little room reverb. Chorus blooms with light piano doubles, stacked harmonies on the hook, and subtle tambourine. Bridge strips back to just voice and guitar before a final, bigger chorus with ad-libs and a held last note fading on a long tail., world
