Neighborhood Dog by NezziBug

I wrote this song when I was thinking about the Christian Music Camp I went to last summer, remembering the unforgettable people I met... I guess this song is just to describe the fact that all anybody ever wants is to be remembered. 

"And when you sit on that slippery seat cover, remember, remember who I was"

No matter what you do or where you go, whether you're a barefoot forest-dweller or sitting on a slippery seat cover in an uptight mansion, remember who you love and what they did for you.

*sorry for any little messups, I was really nervous when I recorded this...

Lyrics:

Verse One

How many days will it take you to

get the stain out of your shirt and wonder if you're worth it

How many blinks will you blink

before you recognize the rocks you've tripped over before

How many nails will you chip over useless matters

Chorus

And when you sit on that slippery seat cover

remember, remember who I was

And my thoughts still linger right after that winter

when I thought I saw you by the pond

but it was just the neighborhood dog

Verse Two

How many times will the words you say

completely contradict how you really feel

How many weeks can you actually say

when you smile, you smile for real

How many thoughts have you had in your head

that it all ended up like in a book I read

(Chorus)

Verse Three

How many risks do you have to take

to feel like you've done something right

How many faces do you have to fake

to start your pointless fights

How many songs do I have to sing

for you to catch my drift

(Chorus; leave off "dog" at the end)

Bridge

I'm fighting the words cuz I can't seem to rhyme them

I lost my regrets and I don't want to find them

And do I keep rambling all of these rambles

I walked an old road and got caught in the brambles

and the neighborhood dog laughed at me

(Chorus)
