Hummingbird Lyrics

Cover art for Hummingbird lyrics by John Mayer

I saw that no one had posted this song yet, so I definitely felt the obligation to share such an amazing work with fellow John intellects. I've only heard this live, and I pray that he puts it on his next album because it is truly phenomenal. Its melancholy hopefulness reminds me of a friendship that I am disentangling myself from right now, and this song is how I hope that my friend feels about me. I put the lyrics up as an away message, hoping he'll get the point.

"Just because I said I didn't want her Doesn't mean I wanted her to go In fact I quite depended on her But then I didn't even think that she knows."

This hits home... he never told me until it was too late, and now I'm picking up and leaving. Leave it to John to write a song for every situation of my life. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do... I hope he plays it when I go see him in August.
