Dogs At The Table
Fences Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it would feel a little better if you'd put it in writing
I confess, I confess, I confess that I love you more than the dogs at the table
That I love you more than the dogs at the table
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
When you crave up in the corner and you're shaking from the lightning
I confess, I confess, I confess that I love you more than the dogs at the table
That I love you more than the dogs at the table
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
You never knew 'cause I never told you
Howling for you like a dog in the corner
You never knew 'cause I never told you
Howling for you like a dog in the corner
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
And in the night, you know they cry for you
And in the night, I know I know I know
