Favorite Paw Lyrics:

  • "It starts off easy enough | But you don't get more than one chance | Before I don't know you anymore | It's easy for me | And I don't miss you that much" – Gasoline

  • "And then the tears from my eyes | Makes the road all wet and hard" - Sleeping Bag "So kiss me again | Oh, before you lie to me" – The Bridge

  • "Looking up at the night | Through dark windshields | Buster Browns won't reach | I ask to drive | And he says, ‘Okay.’" – Dragline

  • "But I'm just a man | And you're a bit too crazy | And being together's always hard" – Badger
