[Verse 1]
I've always felt like life was slipping through my fingers
So I've always loved like I was running out of time
Since I was a kid I've been all weird and worried a lot
Guess I did my best to escape until I forgot

[Chorus]
It's nothing like the movies
It's nothing like you think
You'll find me at the party
Crying at the sink
I know about that broken
Feeling when you say
“What a time
To be alive”
To be alive, hummingbird

[Verse 2]
I've always dreamt of picket fence and perfect teeth
I had no reason to believe in make-believe

[Chorus]
But I know about those mornings
That crying in the car
You swore you wouldn't do it
But you dived it after dark
It's really just a rebound
It's clearly just the space
Where you hide
To feel alive
Feel alive, hummingbird
[Bridge]
Picture's imperfect
But it never shows
I'm playing the part I've always known

[Outro]
To look alive
To look alive, hummingbird
To look alive
To look alive, hummingbird
