Mockingbird

by Rea Garvey

on Prisma (The Get Loud Tour Edition) (2016), Tequila Mockingbird (2018)

[Verse 1]
Know where, know when, know what you are
You plant your roots in a moving car
You don't leave you run away
I talk you down from your better days
Sweet confusion love me not
Short change is all you got
Where you lie is where you rule
You're dedicated to a chosen few

[Chorus]
You've been living it your whole life
You've been giving it your whole life
A jester
Who bows before his king
Suspicious minds give in
As the curtain falls
Yeah you
You've been living it your whole life
Yeah you
You've been givin' it your whole life
Confess to her
Fall before your queen
And the rhapsody she brings
Like a mockingbird she sings
Like a mockingbird she sings

Halleluja
Halleluja

[Verse 2]
Living dangerous cause you free
Your four walls are your enemy
You can't commit to what you can't be
Your love of life is your liberty
Leave your tracks on the mind of a girl you
Had a one night stand and shot through
I'm going gone, I'm going gone
And I don't turn back for anyone

[Chorus]
You've been living this your whole life
Yeah you
You've been giving it your whole life
A jester
Who bows before his king
Suspicious minds give in
As the curtain falls
Yeah you
You've been living this your whole life
Yeah you
You've been givin' this your whole life
Confess to her
Fall before your queen
And the rhapsody she brings
Like a mockingbird she sings
Like a mockingbird she sings

Halleluja
Halleluja

[Outro]
Oh you, you, you, you
You've been living it your whole life
Yeah you
You've been givin' it your whole life
Confess to her
Fall before your queen
And the rhapsody she'd brings
Like a mockingbird she sings
Like a mockingbird she sings

Halleluja
Halleluja
