[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 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

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
