Mockingbird Lyrics

I've been through fire

But you pulled me higher

So if the mockingbird won't sing to you

I'll knock it off the wire

I'm really going through it baby, I'm in the thick of it

I'm feeling bad, back seat, car sick of it

I seen wildfires turn ashes

Yeah I need new lawns, new grass, new thought, new songs, new glasses

I look back, you pull me closer

What's in my past, you give me closure

I call my dad because you told me to

I got some things I gotta unroll that you always hold me to

Will you hold my hand when you hold me down

Will you help me up when I'm holding out

When I lose my feet will you stand my ground

'Cause I'm only me when you're around

I've been through fire

But you pulled me higher

So if the mockingbird won't sing to you

I'll knock it off the wire

Time made me cower

But you gave me power

And if the mockingbird don't sing to you

Then I can do it louder

Somebody box you in and I'm gon' burn it

Pay you my attention 'cause you're worth it

If you're tied up, I'll be your right hand

Just lay in between me and your nightstand

I'll be your watchdog

On your night walk, be your north star

Build a new sun for you when it gets dark

And if it seems like I'm pushing too far

Well it doesn't feel hard, 'cause in a heartbeat you'd

Hold my hand when you hold me down

When you help me up while I'm holding out

When I lose my feet and you stand my ground

You know I'm only me when you're around

I've been through fire

But you pulled me higher

So if the mockingbird won't sing to you

I'll knock it off the wire

Time made me cower

But you gave me power

And if the mockingbird don't sing to you

Then I can do it louder

Baby won't you tell me one more time

I got your back and you got mine

'Cause what we got is hard to find

Baby won't you tell me one more time

You got my back

And if the mockingbird don't sing to you
