Lyric discussion by yoga1 

Cover art for Dogs lyrics by Damien Rice

The key to me is whether it's "..orange tree and a girl that does yoga.." vs "..orange tree, the girl that does yoga..". I think the "she" is the yoga girl. I think the two males are brothers and the one singing is the little brother. They're like dogs running. The girl that does yoga gives to the little boy like the sun gives, in general without specifically giving just to him. When he's tagging along with his brother at her house, he's infatuated with her and acts like a goofy kid. His older brother is more than a dog, like a wolf to keep her warm, and then as a dog he needs to stay away from the wolf. The day ends, the story is told, there's nothing for him, he's superfluous when there's the girl that does yoga. To me, so strong a feeling of loving your older brother, overpowered by the beauty of his girlfriend and the sadness of being put to the back as the day ends and everything settles in. That my view of it and as such, a lovely song.
