CaseJackal - Love You Like a Dog Lyrics

I Used to scavenge like an animal
Chew through trash, never getting full
I might seem icy, but the warmth is indulgence
If you find me, try to put aside judgements

I can't convince you to take me back home
I don't have much to try besides a hello
Find my time might well be your own
That's fine, just don't leave me alone

'Cause I'll run out of my tricks you taught me
Wrong done behind your back 'til you spot me
Tail tucked between my legs when you've caught me
Fraught, distraught, and falling

Out of line with the pet you knew, when you
Found me like I let you do, and you
Wound me tight, kept me stuck into
Counting blessings I get used to

I'll love you like a dog, just train me right
Enough done wrong, even tame me bites
But make me jump, and I'll say "how high?"
Then I'll find how to fly to impress you

I'll offer up my mind to you
Be aligned to you
Put my likes aside and lie for you
Do whatever short of die for you
'Til you're satisfied, that's all justified for you
I can't read your mind, but I'll try for you

I'll love you like a dog would do
I'll let you put me to good use
I'll love you like a dog would do

I'll never get you, I don't expect to
I love to beg you, I live to beg you

I lick scars to remember wounds
My own heart can run on fumes
Darkened moods you've walked me into
Up to me to restart sweet hearted views

I'm telling you what I can't stand
Revel in devotion to a master's hands
Letting moments that we "get it" make every dent
I am an animal who'd rather have a known greater-than

I'm but a beast, and this is my beast frame
And at least it meets my needs when tamed
This machine's got growing pains
And a glowing flame, flowing through a brain

So put a name on it, take my old one
No sense of shame 'bout it, guess I don't own one
You'll have to train all that in, come and change me
Chain me to your aims until it strains me

I'll love you like a dog, just train me right
Enough done wrong, even tame me bites
But make me jump, and I'll say "how high?"
Then I'll find how to fly to impress you

I'll offer up my mind to you
Be aligned to you
Put my likes aside and lie for you
Do whatever short of die for you
'Til you're satisfied, that's all justified for you
I can't read your mind, but I'll try for you

I'll love you like a dog would do
I'll let you put me to good use
I'll love you like a dog would do

I'll love you like a dog would do
I'll let you put me to good use
I'll love you like a dog would do

I'll love you like a dog would do
I'll let you put me to good use
