Mary Timony - Bird Heart lyrics

If I had a mockingbird I'd give it to you And it would sing to you But it wouldn't use words And if i saw you on my bike I'd let you ride it Cause my heart is like a wheel this time And if you were a jungle gym In some playground I wouldn't put you down I wouldn't put you down And if you were an oak tree You'd say "Hey, you should climb me" My heart is on a leaf this time Sometimes the world gets smaller When you're there You can see it breathe See it sigh Sometimes the world gets bigger When you're there You can look into its eyes Here is a hand That can hold that can pray That can take other hands That can be empty Here is a night That can blink that can see That can look into other eyes That can be blurry Well your heart is a car And your head is the wheels And you stop and you start You stop and you start Oh your heart is an orange And your head is the peel And you're torn apart Mmmmhmmmm Sometimes the world gets bigger When you're there And you can see into its eyes Sometimes the world gets smaller When you're there And you can see it breathe See it sigh If i had a mocking bird I'd give it to you And it would sing That'd be really cool But i don't and anyway It'd be a little hard to find one But i hope I see you soon
