Lone Ranger
Platten Rachel Lyrics

Maybe I'm selfish call me see-through
I acknowledge that I may be self-centered and transparent in my desires.

But I'm debating if I really need to
However, I am contemplating if it is necessary to be tied to someone forever.

Be tied, tied to someone forever
I am questioning the idea of being in a committed relationship for the long term.

Sure I get lonely sometimes and miss being together but hey!
Although I may feel lonely at times and miss the idea of companionship, I am still considering my options.

I wanna roam from city to city
I desire to travel and explore different places.

Let the highway and the crowd fill the hunger that's in me
My hunger for new experiences can be satisfied by traveling and immersing myself in crowds.

Fill me up with fireworks and tell me I'm skinny
The excitement of new places and experiences can fulfill me, and I want to feel validated in this way.

I could soak up the fire in the buzz they give me
The energy and excitement of being in new places and around new people can invigorate me.

Long nights, stay up late
I am willing to stay up late in order to enjoy new experiences longer.

Drink the sky, meditate
Being in new places can be like a spiritual experience for me.

Open eyes, sunroof
I want to be alert and aware of my surroundings while I travel.

Give me miles, give me truth
Traveling is important to me because it allows me to discover new perspectives and truths.

Sometimes I get high, sometimes I get low
I have emotional ups and downs like everyone else.

But I'm calm as can be in a room full of strangers
However, I am comfortable in situations where I am surrounded by people I do not know.

But oh my, don't try to get close
Despite my comfort in these situations, I am not looking to get close to anyone.

I'm just gonna leave 'cause baby I'm a lone ranger
I will likely leave these situations because I prefer to be alone and independent.

I'm a lion, I'm a tiger
I have a fierce and independent personality.

I'm a caged-bird, I'm on fire
However, I can also feel trapped and restless.

Got these paper wings, but they don't hold the air
I may have aspirations and dreams, but they may not always be attainable.

Much less brave than I admit
I tend to hide my fears and insecurities.

Much more scared than they all think
I am more afraid than others may realize.

But I'm protecting the organ in my chest
Despite this, I am still guarded and protective of my feelings.

'Cause the blood, sweat, and tears they can make quite a mess
I am hesitant to open up because I have been hurt before and do not want to deal with the emotional mess.

I don't want to get broken baby
I am afraid of being hurt in a relationship.

Cut open babe, cut open babe
The idea of being vulnerable and having my heart exposed is terrifying to me.
