Dog Days

Even my dog won’t get up off the couch

She’s lying around in the dog days of summer

This heat can be a bummer

I’m coming around to what it’s come to now

This empty house

Living with no lover in the dog days of summer

I guess that’s how it goes

Everything must change

I think I’d go insane if every single day was the dog days of summer

The heat breaks in, my AC’s giving up, I’m down again

And calling on my mother in the dog days of summer

For every loss there’s something that you gain

It’s a heavy cost when we don’t have each other in the dog days of summer

I guess that’s how it goes

Everything must change

I think I’d go insane if every single day was the dog days of summer

Doo doo doo

We don’t have each other in the dog days of summer

In a few month’s time these tears are gonna dry

When it’s cold outside I’ll think of you and wonder

And miss the dog days of summer

I guess that’s how it goes

Everything must change

I think I’d go insane if every single day was the dog days

I guess that’s how it goes

You learn to love the game

You learn to cut some slack for how somebody else plays

To make it through the days

The dog days of summer
