Mamma Would (Lydia) - 2015 Cut Song
Mamma would take her foot off the gas on the way back home
On the way back home from school
Slip it in neutral on the top of a hill
And away we'd roll
No breaking 'cause breaking was breaking the rules
Mamma could roleplay like nobody else
Pretend we were birds and make nests in the house
One time she spat chewed up food in my mouth
She was free
She was everything mothers should be
And when nobody else bеlieved in me
Mamma would
Mamma would nеver accept things just the way they were
Mamma would always see so much more
Like the way she would say
We're being chased by a murderer
As she fumbled for the keys to the door
Mamma was serious about hide and seek
One time she managed to hide for a week
Didn't come out 'til we called the police
She was wild
She knew just what to say to a child
And if ever I needed to see her smile
Mamma would
No matter how awkward or hard
Mamma would ask
Mamma would never presume
When others would hide or pretend
Mamma friends with the elephant in the room
She'd want us to talk about her
Why doesn't he talk about her?
I know sure as hell that if the shoe was on the other foot
That Mamma would
Daddy was never always this imperious
Mamma could actually make him laugh
She'd say to him Charles life's too important to be serious
Then she'd throw his phone into the trash
Mamma was positive
Mamma was pure
Made me less dark and dad less insecure
No matter how rough the path mum would endure
She was fun
She was as bright and as warm as the sun
Every moment and every minute
Mamma was present and perfectly in it
Even when nobody else could see anything good (ooh)
Mamma would
Mamma would
On the way back home from school
Slip it in neutral on the top of a hill
And away we'd roll
No breaking 'cause breaking was breaking the rules
Mamma could roleplay like nobody else
Pretend we were birds and make nests in the house
One time she spat chewed up food in my mouth
She was free
She was everything mothers should be
And when nobody else bеlieved in me
Mamma would
Mamma would nеver accept things just the way they were
Mamma would always see so much more
Like the way she would say
We're being chased by a murderer
As she fumbled for the keys to the door
Mamma was serious about hide and seek
One time she managed to hide for a week
Didn't come out 'til we called the police
She was wild
She knew just what to say to a child
And if ever I needed to see her smile
Mamma would
No matter how awkward or hard
Mamma would ask
Mamma would never presume
When others would hide or pretend
Mamma friends with the elephant in the room

Mamma would
