[English]

Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na, na-na

Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na

Maybe I'm selfish, call me see-through

But I'm debating if I really need to tie it down to someone forever

Sure, I get lonely sometimes, I miss being together

But babe, I wanna 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 they give me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Long nights, stay up late, drink the sky, and meditate

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, 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, na-na, na, na, na, na-na

Na, na, na, na-na, 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 hold the air

Get too 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 this organ in my chest

'Cause the blood, sweat and tears, they can make quite a mess

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, 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, na-na, na, na, na, na-na

Na, na, na, na-na, 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, baby

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, 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 (oh my), don't try to get close

Nah, I'm just gonna leave 'cause, baby, I'm a lone ranger

Na, na, na, na-na (oh), na, na, na, na-na (oh)

Na, na, na, na-na, na, na, na (sometimes I get high)

Na, na, na, na-na (no), na, na, na, na-na (no)

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

But, oh my, don't try to get close (mm)

I'm just gonna leave 'cause, baby, I'm a lone ranger
