And as I’m telling you, as I’m telling you that I don’t overcomplicate things, that I dance out of time, that I know this isn’t where I belong, even though I keep walking down this path. And how do I explain to you, that no matter how hard I try, I wasn’t born lucky, and I never knew how to swim against the tide. And how do I explain to you, that I don’t know how to leave this nest, and the wind will tell me I can, but I’ll still know, that I was never born for this.

Let me explain
And as I’m telling you, as I’m telling you that I don’t overcomplicate things, that I dance out of time, that I know this isn’t where I belong, even though I keep walking down this path. And how do I explain to you, that no matter how hard I try, I wasn’t born lucky, and I never knew how to swim against the tide. And how do I explain to you, that I don’t know how to leave this nest, and the wind will tell me I can, but I’ll still know, that I was never born for this.
I don’t know if this makes sense, but I feel like I wasn’t born for anything; I’ve got no talent. I’m just a normal girl, a bit tall, but that’s about it.
