🎶 Mockingbird song analysis

The song is about a man who wants his girlfriend to give him a mockingbird. If the bird doesn't sing, she'll buy him a diamond ring instead, but if the ring doesn't shine, she'll break his heart. He tells everyone about it. Then, on a bridge, his partner takes over and says if she can't find peace of mind, she'll find a better way. She can rise above or fall below, but she will go with the flow. She keeps shouting it.
