Bridges began performing in and around Fort Worth, Texas and stirred up music industry interest with analog recordings, produced by Justin Block and Austin Jenkins of White Denim, which were uploaded to his SoundCloud page. Signed to major-label Columbia, his first singles -- including a rich ballad written about his mother -- appeared in February 2015 with a sound that evoked mid-to-late '60s soul. The following month, Bridges caught more attention with performances at SXSW, roughly 200 miles south of his home base. His debut album, Coming Home, was released in June 2015.
Mrs.
Leon Bridges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you try to leave when I need you the most
Sometimes I wonder what we holding on for
Then you climb on top of me and I remember
You know that I think you're the love of my life
But lovin' and hatin' is such a fine line
Sometimes I wonder why I went knockin' on your door
I remember how it felt the first few times
Skin-to-skin before you knew how to get under mine
If we get it, get it right we'll be together for life
'Cause it only feels good after a good, good fight
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we talk like
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we love
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we're touchin'
(Mrs., Mrs.)
And that sound when ya ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Fussin' and fightin', an eye for an eye
Your shoulders get colder and colder all the time
Sometimes I wonder why I went knockin' on your door
Then you come knock, knock, knockin' on mine and I remember
I remember how it felt the first few times
Skin-to-skin before you knew how to get under mine
If we get it, get it right we'll be together for life
'Cause it only feels good after a good, good fight
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we talk like
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we love, love
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we're touchin'
(Mrs., Mrs.)
A little bit of everything
(Mrs., Mrs.)
When we talk like
(Mrs., Mrs.)
A little bit of that love, oh
(Mrs., Mrs.)
And when we're touchin'
(Mrs., Mrs.)
A little bit of everything
Oh oh, yeah
(When you say them things I like)
(I know it's all worth the fight)

Line by Line Meaning
I try to let go we end up on the floor
Despite trying to move on, we constantly fall back into each other's arms
And you try to leave when I need you the most
You seem to distance yourself when I am in most need of your love and support
Sometimes I wonder what we holding on for
I question the strength of our relationship and what keeps us together
Then you climb on top of me and I remember
But when we are intimate, I am reminded of the passion and love that we share
You know that I think you're the love of my life
I believe that you are the one I am meant to spend my life with
But lovin' and hatin' is such a fine line
However, there is a thin line between love and hate that we often cross
Sometimes I wonder why I went knockin' on your door
At times, I question the choices that brought us together
Then you climb on top of me and I remember
But again, our physical connection reminds me of the love and passion we share
I remember how it felt the first few times
I recall the early days of our relationship, when our physical intimacy was new and exciting
Skin-to-skin before you knew how to get under mine
We were close and intimate before you were able to truly get to know me on a deeper level
If we get it, get it right we'll be together for life
If we are able to work through our issues and strengthen our relationship, we can be together forever
'Cause it only feels good after a good, good fight
Our intense makeups after fighting are the moments that bring us closer and make our love stronger
Fussin' and fightin', an eye for an eye
Though our fights may be intense, we often choose to retaliate in the same way
Your shoulders get colder and colder all the time
As our fights continue, you become more and more distant
Then you come knock, knock, knockin' on mine and I remember
But eventually, you come back to me and our intimate moments remind me of the love we share
(When you say them things I like)
When you say things that make me feel loved and appreciated
(I know it's all worth the fight)
I am reminded that our relationship is worth fighting for
