Cover art for Hummingbird lyrics by John Mayer

I think the Hummingbird methaphor is about fear of commitment. The Hummingbird stays hovering in one spot or it flys backward, but i does not go forward. So it is like he is saying he wants to stay right here where they are and not move things forward or go to the next level. This line really says it all; Just because I said I didn't want her Doesn't mean I want her to go In fact I quite depended on her But that i didnt want her to know He did not want her to go but he did not want her in the forever sense.
