Lone Ranger Lyrics

Maybe I'm selfish call me see-through
But I'm debating if I really need to
Be tied, tied to someone forever
Sure I get lonely sometimes and miss being together but hey!
I wanna roam from city to city
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 in the buzz they give me

Ooh ooh
Long nights, stay up late
Drink the sky, meditate

Ooh ooh
Open eyes, sunroof
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

Na, na, na, nana, na, na, na
Nana na, na, na, nana, na, na na (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 than I admit
Much more scared than they all think
But I'm protecting the organ in my chest
'Cause the blood, sweat, and tears they can make quite a mess

Ooh ooh
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

Na, na, na, nana, na, na, na
Nana na, na, na, nana, na, na na ('cause baby I'm a lone ranger)

I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken babe
Cut open babe, cut open babe

I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken baby
I don't want to get broken babe
Cut open babe, cut open babe

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

Na, na, na, nana, na, na, na
Nana na, na, na, nana, na, na na
Sometimes I get high (na, na, na, nana, na, na, na)
(Nana na, na, na, nana, na, na na)
'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

What is the Meaning of Lone Ranger?

In this evocative ballad, Rachel Platten explores the concept of independence and self-preservation. She paints a picture of a free spirit who is not afraid to roam alone, cherishing her solitude and freedom over the comfort of companionship. The repeated line "baby I'm a lone ranger" underscores her preference for going solo. However, there's also an underlying fear of vulnerability and getting hurt if she allows someone too close, as expressed in the lines "I don't want to get broken". In essence, it's a song about balancing the desire for connection with the need for personal space and emotional safety.
