[Verse 1]
It's a story old as time
Write a line that doesn't rhyme
And resign to being
Nothing more than adequate
Snap your feelings to the grid
Man, they'll never know you did
You were flying
Now you're vying for a fix for it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Giving life to a seed of doubt
That the fire in your heart is out

[Chorus]
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life
There's still life in you
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you hum me a line
Sing that ancient tune
Hmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmm

[Verse 2]
Throw that feelin' to the wind
Put your head under the sand
Did you really think
You're any more than adequate?
Drink the pickle that you're in
Turn your frown into a grin
Push your insides out
Was that the plan for getting it?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Diving headfirst into clout
But the ends are both shallow now

[Chorus]
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life
There's still life in you
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you hum me a line
Sing that ancient tune
Hmmmmmmm

[Bridge]
Hummingbird, say the word
And I can pull the plug on you
Hummingbird, say the word
And I can pull the rug from under you
If I wasn't so dug far into you

[Chorus]
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you give me a sign
That there's still life
There's still life in you
Hey, little hummingbird
Won't you hum me a life
Sing that ancient tune
Hmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmm
