One more trail

Verse 1

You were waiting by the door before I found my shoes,

Like every road was calling and we had no time to lose.

Gray coat in the morning sun, your footprints next to mine,

We’d disappear into the mountains, leave the whole damn world behind.

You never cared where we were going,

Long as you could lead the way.

And somehow every trail felt like home

With you beside me every day.

Chorus

So if there’s a mountain somewhere past the sky,

I hope you’re running up it, Titan, like you did by my side.

Through the pines and through the wildflowers,

Where the trail goes on for miles,

No leash, no pain, no getting tired,

Just that look that’s in your eyes.

And when I make that climb someday,

I know just what you’ll do—

You’ll be waiting at the trailhead,

Like you always used to.

And we’ll take one more trail,

Me and you.

Verse 2

You were more than just my shadow, more than four paws on the ground,

You were there for every silence when no one else was around.

You never needed answers, never asked me to explain,

You’d just lay your head beside me

Till the world felt right again.

You saw the parts nobody noticed,

Every laugh and every tear.

And I never knew how much a dog

Could make a life feel less alone

Until you weren’t here.

Chorus

So if there’s a mountain somewhere past the sky,

I hope you’re running up it, Titan, like you did by my side.

Through the pines and through the wildflowers,

Where the trail goes on for miles,

No leash, no pain, no getting tired,

Just that look that’s in your eyes.

And when I make that climb someday,

I know just what you’ll do—

You’ll be waiting at the trailhead,

Like you always used to.

And we’ll take one more trail,

Me and you.

Bridge

I wish dogs got more tomorrows.

God, I’d give you some of mine.

’Cause all you ever asked from me

Was a place right by my side.

Maybe that’s the thing you taught me—

Love doesn’t count the years.

It counts the miles we walked together,

The muddy paws, the souvenirs.

The mornings at the mountain,

The nights you followed me home.

And all those ordinary moments

I didn’t know I’d miss the most.

Final Chorus

So go find that mountain somewhere past the sky,

Run as far as you want to, Titan,

You don’t have to wait this time.

Chase the wind between the pine trees,

Climb until you touch the blue.

You spent your whole life following me—

Now the trail belongs to you.

And I’ll carry you in every mile,

Every mountain that I see.

‘Cause the best dog I could’ve asked for

Was my best friend to me.

And when my last trail finds its ending,

And I finally make it through,

I know you’ll meet me at the trailhead…

And we’ll take one more trail,

Me and you.

Outro

So run ahead, Titan.

You always liked to lead.

I’ll find you.

Just save a place for me.
