A 90s boyband cheese song about my cat Sir Thomas the Thumbs, a polydactyl feral rescue.
You've Become So Real
[Verse 1]
He came outta shadows, eyes wide in the night
Little wild heartbeat, ready to fight
Every sound too loud, every hand too fast
Didn’t know a gentle love could ever last
We stayed right there, didn’t push too far
Left a little space, let him be who you are
Then one day he stayed, didn’t run away
And everything changed in the softest way
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiny steps, little trust
Turnin’ fear into us
Now he’s right here in my arms
[Chorus]
You’ve become so real
From a ghost in the dark to a heart we can feel
Every purr, every bite, every look in your eyes
Yeah, you showed us the truth don’t lie
You’ve become so real
All the love you were hiding, now you let it spill
From the fear to the light, now you’re ours for life
And you love, you love, you love us back tonight
[Verse 2]
Extra little toes, yeah, you got that flair
Polydactyl king with a rebel stare
Got your cat crew close, yeah you roll in a pack
But you always come home, you ain’t turning back
Little love bites say what words can’t do
“I’m still a little scared but I trust you”
And when the sky shifts, yeah you feel it first
“MAIS WOW!” echo when the clouds might burst
[Pre-Chorus]
Call it rain, call it snow
You just always know
And you warn us with your song
[Chorus]
You’ve become so real
From a ghost in the dark to a heart we can feel
Every purr, every bite, every look in your eyes
Yeah, you showed us the truth don’t lie
You’ve become so real
All the love you were hiding, now you let it spill
From the fear to the light, now you’re ours for life
And you love, you love, you love us back tonight
[Bridge]
Didn’t think you’d ever let us in
Didn’t think we’d see beneath your skin
But you chose us, yeah you chose to stay
And we’ll never let that fade away
Now you’re dancing through the house like you own the place
Tiny paws, big heart, yeah you set the pace
From the silence to a shout so loud
“MAIS WOW!” to the thundercloud
[Breakdown]
Mais wow.
Yeah, we hear you, baby…
We hear you…
[Final Chorus]
You’ve become so real
From a ghost in the dark to a heart we can feel
Every purr, every bite, every look in your eyes
Yeah, you showed us the truth don’t lie
You’ve become so real
All the love you were hiding, now you let it spill
From the fear to the light, now you’re ours for life
And you love, you love, you love us back tonight
[Outro]
Extra thumbs with heart, shining bright
You came home… you came home tonight
Mais wow.
He came outta shadows, eyes wide in the night
Little wild heartbeat, ready to fight
Every sound too loud, every hand too fast
Didn’t know a gentle love could ever last
We stayed right there, didn’t push too far
Left a little space, let him be who you are
Then one day he stayed, didn’t run away
And everything changed in the softest way
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiny steps, little trust
Turnin’ fear into us
Now he’s right here in my arms
[Chorus]
You’ve become so real
From a ghost in the dark to a heart we can feel
Every purr, every bite, every look in your eyes
Yeah, you showed us the truth don’t lie
You’ve become so real
All the love you were hiding, now you let it spill
From the fear to the light, now you’re ours for life
And you love, you love, you love us back tonight
[Verse 2]
Extra little toes, yeah, you got that flair
Polydactyl king with a rebel stare

Extra thumbs with heart, shining bright
You came home… you came home tonight
