A True Story, other perspective

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I was sleeping peaceful, dreaming about work
When the rumbling started - that's when things get dark
The sky makes the angry noise, the bright flash comes after
I know what this means: the world is ending, disaster
Verse 2:
I need to get to safety - there's only one safe place
The sleeping human, specifically his face
I take a running start from across the room
Land right on his chest - he makes a "oof" sound, I assume
Chorus:
The sky is falling, the world's coming apart
The only safe place is on top of this heart
He tries to move me but I jump right back
This human's my bunker when the universe cracks
Verse 3:
He keeps pushing at me, making sounds like "Chip, get off"
But he doesn't understand - outside is death and doom and loss
The bright lights flash, the angry sky keeps shouting
If I leave this spot, there's no telling what'll happen, I'm not doubting
Verse 4:
The other human says "Just let him stay up there"
She gets it, she understands, she knows about the scary air
But my human keeps trying to slide me to the side
I just climb back up - this isn't about pride, it's about survival, I tried
Chorus:
The sky is falling, the world's ending tonight
The only safe place is right here, holding tight
I know I'm shaking but I can't make it stop
This human's my shelter when the heavens drop
Bridge:
Maybe if I press closer, maybe if I get lower
Maybe if I distribute my weight from his shoulder to his knee-over
He makes more sounds but I can't focus on words right now
The sky is screaming and I need to be here, somehow
Verse 5:
Hours pass, or maybe years, it's hard to tell
But eventually the angry sky stops trying to kill us, it fell
Wait - the nightmare's over? The morning's here? We survived?
I hop down, stretch, time for breakfast - I feel so alive!
Final Chorus:
The sky was falling but we made it through
Because I stayed right there and protected him too
He seems tired, I don't know why - the danger's past
We're both fine now, thanks to me holding fast
Outro:
He's looking at me strange, like I did something wrong
But I saved us both, so I don't know what's going on
Tonight I'll sleep peaceful, knowing I'm prepared
Next time the sky falls, I know exactly where
My human doesn't move as fast as he should
But I'll get him to safety, I'm that good
