If I was a poet
Or maybe a king
Then I could explain to you how my heart sings
Whenever I look in your eyes
Like a hummingbird trapped in my chest, I would say is
Just how it felt on that glorious day
When I first , when I first saw you
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance
Bright colors
In the picture God paints
Here take these pills
I don’t know what they do
And I’ve already swallowed more than a few
I promise your mother she won’t even notice they’re gone
And what was that song that Youth Minister Ted
Sang after his sermon
It’s been stuck in my head
The chorus went, it went something like this
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance, bright colors
In the picture God paints
The popular kids that ignored us at school
Will whisper our names as the tears fill the pool
We’ll look down upon and laugh
As rosy cheeked angels join us in cheers
Where no one is lonely and there’s nothing to fear
I wish I could go there right now
I wish I could go touch you right now
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance
Bright colors
In the picture God paints
If I was a poet
Or maybe a king
Then I could explain to you how my heart sings
Whenever I look in your eyes
Or maybe a king
Then I could explain to you how my heart sings
Whenever I look in your eyes
Like a hummingbird trapped in my chest, I would say is
Just how it felt on that glorious day
When I first , when I first saw you
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance
Bright colors
In the picture God paints
Here take these pills
I don’t know what they do
And I’ve already swallowed more than a few
I promise your mother she won’t even notice they’re gone
And what was that song that Youth Minister Ted
Sang after his sermon
It’s been stuck in my head
The chorus went, it went something like this
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance, bright colors
In the picture God paints
The popular kids that ignored us at school
Will whisper our names as the tears fill the pool
We’ll look down upon and laugh
As rosy cheeked angels join us in cheers
Where no one is lonely and there’s nothing to fear
I wish I could go there right now
I wish I could go touch you right now
Together we’ll know true freedom
From all earthly constraints
Dissolving brilliance
Bright colors
In the picture God paints
If I was a poet
Or maybe a king
Then I could explain to you how my heart sings
Whenever I look in your eyes

hmmm It's like three parts there. First he meets her, it's a true love they want eachother, thus the "hummingbird part". Then the pills. It's like no one accepted their love, it couldn't go through, so they commited suicide (or plan to do). And then they "look down upon and laugh" like it's some kind of victory for them because they are finaly together despite all the other people. The "true freedom from all earthly constraints".
That's my poor and literal interpretation xD
great song
