Dog Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

Well, my dog wears a path in the same line 

and lately I'm thinking I might take his advice 

Well, he sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free 

Well, my cane and his shame look the same to me 

All alone in a cage with a headrest 

There's a thing I could get off of my chest 

And I wanna wear the path that's true 

And I wanna wear the path with you 

Out in the snow, off the leash for years or more 

I don't even know what it was I was waiting for 

Well, maybe I barked up the wrong tree 

That was then, now I'm back, won't you see me? 

'cause I wanna wear the path that's true 

And I wanna wear the path with you 

Oh, it's true 

I used to be afraid of growing old 

and hanging 'round the same old place, 

but I got older anyway 

So won't you 

(won't won't won't) 

So won't you 

(won't won't won't) 

So won't you wash my fears away 

Well, my dog wears a path and that's a good sign 

(do do do do do, do-do do do) 

'cause my dog wears a path in the same line 

(same line) 

Say goodbye to the cage with a headrest 

'cause there's something to could get off of my chest 

(get off of my chest) 

by a house, go to work in the same car 

feed the dog, put my teeth in the same jar, 

Think I should tell you that 

I wanna wear the path that's true 

And I wanna wear the path with you 

Yeah, I wanna wear the path with you
