Mockingbird

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
