Prey Lyrics

As long as you notice
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open
I'll keep mine open too
If you don't ask, I won't tell
Just know that, just know that
It all hurts, it all hurts just the same

Something is wrong, I can't explain
Everything changed when the birds came
You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

As long as you notice
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open
I'll keep mine open too
So, so, I'll probably take you aside
And tell you what's on my mind
But you, you'll just keep it inside
Probably tell me that you're alright

Something is wrong, I can't explain
Everything changed when the birds came
You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

(If I run) If I run away I'll never know
(What you want) And if you go then I'll never grow
(I'm undone) Let me slip, let me slide
(If you run) I'll be sure to let you fly

Something is off, I can't explain
You know what I mean, don't you?
Something I saw, or something I did that made me like this
Could you help me?
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying

So, so, I'll probably take you aside
And tell you what's on my mind
But you, you'll just keep it inside
Probably tell me that you're alright

So, so, I'll probably take you aside
And tell you what's on my mind
But you, you'll just keep it inside
Probably tell me that you're alright

I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight
I don't want to fight

What is the Meaning of Prey?

This song delves into the complexities of vulnerability and communication within relationships. The lyrics express a longing for open-heartedness and honesty, yet acknowledges the struggle to articulate feelings. The recurring bird imagery suggests a yearning for freedom and self-direction, but also the fear of being hunted or trapped - perhaps indicative of insecurities or fears within the relationship. The refrain "I don't want to fight" underscores a desire for peace and understanding, rather than conflict. Overall, it's a poignant exploration of emotional transparency and the courage it takes to reveal one's true feelings in love. #Relationships #EmotionalVulnerability #Communication
