Lyrics

Maybe I'm selfish, call me see-through
But I'm debating if I really need to
Tie down to someone forever
Sure, I get lonely sometimes, I miss being together, but baby
And when I roam from city to city
I let the highway and the crowd fill the hunger that's in me
Fill me up with fireworks and tell me I'm skinny
I could soak up the fire and the buzz it gives me
Long nights, stay up late
Drink the sky, meditate
Open eyes, sun roof
Give me miles, give me truth
Sometimes, I get high
Sometimes, I get low
But I'm calm as can be
In a room full of strangers
But oh, my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
Yeah, I'm a lone ranger
I'm a lion, I'm a tiger
I'm a caged bird, I'm on fire
Got these paper wings but they don't hold the air
Get so close to somebody, but I don't stay there
Much less brave then I admit
Much more scared then they all think
But I'm protecting this organ in my chest
'Cause the blood, sweat and tears, they can make quite a mess
Open eyes, open roof
Give me miles, give me truth
Sometimes, I get high
Sometimes, I get low
But I'm calm as can be
In a room full of strangers
But oh, my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
I don't wanna get broken, baby
I don't wanna get broken, baby
I don't wanna get broken, baby
Cut open, babe, cut open, baby
I don't wanna get broken, baby
I don't wanna get broken, baby
I don't wanna get broken, baby
Cut open, babe, cut open, baby
Sometimes, I get high
Sometimes, I get low
But I'm calm as can be
In a room full of strangers
But oh, my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
Sometimes, I get high
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
But oh, my, don't try to get close
I'm just gonna leave
'Cause baby, I'm a lone ranger
