Hummingbird

Here in the dark, I won't even make a spark

You're the only one who's never seen

The way I can light up in shades of gold and green

I'm just a little firefly, I want to shine for you but I'm too shy

So when you come around I hide my light

But when you go away I shine for you all night

All night, all night, when I shine for you all night

All night, all night, when I shine for you

Out there in the sun, I'd open up for anyone

You're the only one who closes me

Because I want to be the brightest thing you've ever seen

I'm just a little dandelion, I want to blossom but I'm scared of trying

I hide my head when you come into the room

When you go away I come right into bloom

And I can't look down, because I'm way too high

I can't look up, into your eyes

Well I never was afraid to sing out loud

In front of anybody, any crowd

You make me lose my nerve

Feel like something more than I could ever deserve

I'm just a little hummingbird, I want to sing but I can't find the words

So when you come around I just go still

But after you move on, when I know you're gone

I sing for you the way I always will

I will, I will, the way I always will

I will, I will, the way I always will

I will, I will, the way I always will

The way I always will

You know I always will
