Kris Delmhorst - Hummingbird lyrics

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
