I think the correct lyrics are:
"Once upon almost every mornin
I woke up to find her flying in
Hummingbird was making blurs of
Blue and rings of purple in the air
All the while
I was trying to keep her there
Not man enough to leave
Man enough to always care"
I think hummingbirds are symbolic of messengers and beauty. 'Its long tongue lets it bypass the often tough and bitter outer layer to find the hidden treasures underneath.' I think the meaning of this song is that there was a girl that brought beauty into his life (first lines) and he selfishly tried to hold onto her even when he wasn't feeling her that much. And only after she left did he truly realize what he lost.
