Lyrics

I am the flightless kind

I feel incapable of soaring or achieving my full potential

And she my hummingbird

She, like a delicate and vibrant bird, brings energy and life to my world

She captured joy in photographs

She captures moments of happiness in pictures

And there's none of us together

We don't have shared memories or experiences

We spent all our time drinking

Our time is mostly spent on drinking

Making casual conversation

We engage in casual conversations

She said, "Ever kissed a London Girl?"

She asks if I've ever kissed a London girl, suggesting a potential romantic interest

While I spoke about the weather

I divert the conversation to a safer topic like the weather

Called her by her full name once

I use her full name, attempting to establish a connection

She called me a bitch

She responds negatively, calling me a derogatory term

Then asked me back to her flat

Despite the disagreement, she invites me to her place

And I said, "As you wish"

I agree, complying with her invitation

Pack me up in boxes

Suggesting a willingness to be moved or changed

Fly me out to England

Expressing a desire to be taken to England

I am the awkward type

Describing myself as socially uncomfortable or awkward

And she constantly teased me

She playfully mocks or teases me regularly

With these pictures of her naked

She shares intimate pictures of herself

I swear she looks like Emily Blunt

Comparing her appearance to the actress Emily Blunt

I'm not masochistic but

Denying a liking for pain but describing being restrained

She tied me up completely

Describing a sense of vulnerability or surrender

And I found it endearing when

Finding her use of a derogatory term oddly charming

She said I'd been a cunt

Accepting criticism or acknowledging wrongdoing

Pack me up in boxes

Repeating the desire to be packed up and taken to England

Fly me out to England, oh

Reiterating the longing to be transported to England

Keep me in your pocket

Suggesting being kept close and consumed gradually

Drain me like a drink then go

Describing a draining or consuming experience before departing
