A Bird Flies Out Lyrics

I'm a bit confused about the meaning of this song, but the chorus makes me think that she's falling in love but she's not sure of herself. The lyrics about 'someone who is real' makes me think that she fell in love with someone who wasn't real before, like someone who lied about their identity or seemed like one thing from afar but was different in person. 'What do I want to feel?' is a line I can really relate to, wondering what kind of love and what kind of person you want. It's all about uncertainty: "It's a strange beginning...Is this the right time?...nervous fingers...maybe I'm too jaded to love somebody like you." We never find out if it works out for them.
