Remember all the memories 
Follow like a ghost
Were you here in the first place?
Or have I been alone?
The room is dark and empty
The air is dry and cold
Did you leave with the summer?
Is that why I’m alone?

In retrograde
No serenade
No comfort, no closure, no barricade

I act like I don’t mind 
Running and slipping away from me

I say I don’t mind
But I’m way out of line
If they knew
Oh hummingbird without you
I’m wasting my time
And I say that I’m fine
But I know
That my hummingbird's in another room

Cigarettes and asphalt
Smells like seventeen
Smells like all the memories
Gone like autumn leaves
Winter’s been a decade
Never turned to spring
Skipped right to the summer
Scorching everything

In retrograde
No serenade
No comfort, no closure, no barricade

I act like I don’t mind 
Running and slipping away from me

I say I don’t mind
But I’m way out of line
If they knew
Oh hummingbird without you
I’m wasting my time
And I say that I’m fine
But I know
That my hummingbird's in another room

Been waiting for time after time after time but it never comes
away from me

Visions in time are the visions of mine that are left or lost 

I act like I don’t mind 
Running and slipping away from me

I say I don’t mind
But I’m way out of line
If they knew
Oh hummingbird without you
I’m wasting my time
And I say that I’m fine
But I know
That my hummingbird's in another room
