My Own
Embracing Independence: "My Own" by The Perishers
Lyrics
Are you tryin' to make me sad?
Questioning if the intention is to evoke sadness
Wanna keep me on my toes
Desire to keep someone alert and engaged
Not the best you've ever had
Not the absolute best in a relationship
But you say, I'm pretty close
Despite not being the best, still perceived as close to it
Moonlight or sunshine
Indifferent to various circumstances, whether pleasant or not
Morning or night time
No preference for specific times of the day
I choose to be alone
Choosing solitude over company
To be my own
Embracing independence and self-reliance
Are you tryin' to make me sad?
Reiterating the question about causing sadness
Jealousy's a powerful force
Acknowledging the potency of jealousy in relationships
You're the best I've ever had
Acknowledgment of the partner's greatness despite circumstances
But you're not mine and I'm not yours
Recognizing the lack of an official relationship
Moonlight or sunshine
Stating indifference to external conditions
Morning or night time
No favoritism towards specific times of day
I choose to be alone
Continued preference for solitude
To be my own
Reaffirming the choice to be independent
The birds are singin' blue
Observing the change in surroundings symbolized by birds
Now that summer is over
Noting the end of a season and its implications
They move south and so will you
Expectation of separation or departure
You did wrong but you made it sing
Acknowledging mistakes but finding a positive outcome
Right, right, right, right
Repeated emphasis on correctness or validation
