Some Birds

If I could tread the road without a companion
Why would I fill what was once empty handed?
It's quicker and it's freer, don't you think?
Don't have to worry 'bout my words and their meanings
I have my ways and I have my reasons
No expectations that inevitably make me sink

And I don't do well when you place breakable things in my hands
Haven't you learned that every time it breaks?
And I don't thrive well when you keep a chain on my neck
I like it when we're nothing and have nothing at stake

I was seeing a girl who tasted the sweetest
But when we weren't making love she could be the meanest
She made me feel like everything I did was wrong
And maybe it is, but that's news to me
I'm just one fish that's lost at sea
I guess some birds were just meant to fly alone

But then I back track when I see a pretty flower cross my path
And forget it's only exciting when it's new
'Cuz then comes backlash and some kind of heart attack
'Cuz wild hearts can't be tamed
Someone has to lose

I think this is the moment where I'm finally content
'Cuz there's joy in solitude and I have no regrets
And even though I got no sense of direction
I don't have a destination anyway
I'll never see every cloud or ride every wave
But I'm sure one day I'll come across an empty throne
I guess some birds were just meant to fly alone
I guess this girl was just meant to be alone
