Mockingbird
Echoes of Love: Embracing Freedom and Connection in 'Mockingbird'
Lyrics
Stay where you are
Expressing a desire for someone to remain in their current position.
All be right there
Assurance of being present shortly.
It's two forty-four
Noting the time as 2:44.
Open up the door, I'm yours
Request to open the door with a claim of belonging.
I'm not gonna chase
Declaring an end to pursuing the person.
You anymore
Reinforcing the decision not to chase.
You know what's in store
Suggesting familiarity with the situation or outcome.
'Cause I (you know what's in store, 'cause I)
Reiteration of confidence in knowing the outcome.
I'm over here (I'm over here)
Emphasizing the speaker's location.
And you're over there
Highlighting physical distance between the speaker and the addressed person.
Not gonna chase (I'm not gonna chase)
Reaffirming the decision not to pursue.
The patterns on your face unless
Not pursuing the patterns on the person's face unless instructed.
You say the word
Waiting for the word from the person.
And the word is love
Stating that the awaited word is "love."
And I'll call you like a mockingbird
Expressing a willingness to respond like a mockingbird when the word "love" is uttered.

-I'm in the mood to just keep on being a being tonight
Expressing a mood to continue being oneself.
And just stretch and get naked
Describing a desire to engage in carefree and expressive activities.
And stand in front of the mirror
-And just dance and cry
-I'm over here (I'm over here)
Repeating the decision not to pursue, this time regarding flowers in the person's wake.
And you're over there (you're over there)
-Not gonna chase (I'm not gonna chase)
-The flowers in your wake unless (unless)
-You say the word
Waiting for the word from the person (repeated).
The word is love
Reiterating that the awaited word is "love" (repeated).
And I'll call you like a mockingbird
Expressing a commitment to respond like a mockingbird when the word "love" is spoken (repeated).

Continuation of the commitment to respond like a mockingbird (repeated).
