Hummingbird

Hummingbird

Oh baby I'm a light left on
Still waiting for the moment
Burn steady and the fuse is gone
Hang heavy, and I've blown it

Oh baby I'm a flightless bird
Crying out to the treetops
Wing's heavy and my voice unheard
Keep saying I'm enough, oh

Watch your step
Find your love
Use your legs
Keep it up

Brace your heart
Know yourself
Face the dark
Ask for help

Like a hummingbird I will hover
But never taste the fruit
Like the memory of a lover
That flickers into view

And all the things you wanted
That kept on calling you
And you try, but cannot choose
Oh baby I'm an unmade bed
Uncovered in a half light

Still warm from your sleep in here
So empty that I could cry
And oh baby this is what you say
I'm never gonna not run

You never would've killed us dead
You were right on the shotgun
Watch your step
Find your love
Use your legs
Keep it up

Like a hummingbird I will hover
But never taste the fruit
Like the memory of a lover
That flickers into view
And all the things you wanted
That kept on calling you
And you try, but cannot choose

No don't, don't let me let you down
Don't, don't let me let you down
Don't, don't let me let you down, no don't
No don't, don't let me let you down
Don't, don't let me let you down
Don't, don't let me let you down, no don't

Oh I still want you baby
So help me stay from words
Oh I still want you baby
So help me stay for worse
Like a hummingbird I will hover

But never taste the fruit
Like the memory of a lover
That flickers into view
And all the things you want to
That kept on calling you

And you try, but cannot choose
Like a hummingbird I will hover
But never taste the fruit
Like the memory of a lover
That flickers into view

And all the things you want to
That kept on calling you
And you try, but cannot choose
Like a hummingbird I will hover
But never taste the fruit

Like the memory of a lover
That flickers into view
And all the things you want to
That kept on calling you
And you try, but cannot choose
Oh you try but cannot choose
