[Verse 1]
To kill a mockingbird is to silence the song that seduces you
Why? 'Cause you need that desire in your heart to survive
And you need that burning fire in your soul to know you're still alive
So catch me when I fall, or did I dive at your delight?
[Chorus]
In my heart, I can fly
And I cannot disguise, my love
There is no time
And I wouldn't know how
Constellations tonight
Are so fearsomely bright, my love
I have no fear
I am Atticus now
[Verse 2]
Remember what I lost like hot coals in my hand from days gone by
Like Pandora adored the euphoria as her heart raced
Like love lost, you've got to try even in vain, feels like you'll go insane
But you're the hardest instrument that I've ever had to play
[Chorus]
In my heart, I can fly
And I cannot disguise, my love
There is no time
And I wouldn't know how to
The constellations tonight
Are so fearsomely bright, my love
I have no fear
I am Atticus now
[Bridge]
So why don't we fall into the waves? (In deep)
Can't you see how my heart yearns to misbehave?
[Chorus]
In my heart, I can fly
And I cannot disguise, my love
There is no time to
And I wouldn't know how
The constellations tonight
Are so fearsomely bright, my love
I have no fear left
'Cause I am Atticus now
[Outro]
So why don't we fall into the waves?
Can't you see how my heart yearns to misbehave?
