I wake up with a thousand tails around me paws on the bed saying “hey, good morning” laughter spills with ginger in my cup this prairie house knows me too well, yup The river moves slow, watching me go takes all the weight, lets my dreaming grow between broken nights and stitched-up plans I learned how to fall… and laugh again
My life is a cartoon bright colors, a wild heart big dreams, a few illusions but I live real, right from the start My life is a cartoon yeah sometimes it hurts, it’s true but look a little closer and you’ll see who loves the most laughs louder too
There’s a little van running next to me “I love pet therapy” painted free inside there’s paws and hearts and toys everywhere and a reason to care I trusted words that were light as air some melted fast, they weren’t really there posters of letdowns on my wall but dogs taught me tomorrow won’t fall
When the world says “no, you won’t survive” I bark back loud and say “watch me try”
My life is a cartoon a little torn but in love big dreams, a few illusions I choose my way, I rise above My life is a cartoon not perfect, just true inside if you see me laughing like this you know exactly who I am tonight
I lost some parts, I found my name between who stayed and who walked away every paw still walking close to me is a promise that will never leave
My life is a cartoon with the ending rewritten again no script, just truth and motion and love running wild in the wind My life is a cartoon yeah this is who I am home, dogs, a river flowing slow a little van and a stubborn dream I hold
If you ask me who I am I’ll smile and say it soon yeah… my life is a cartoon
