Something I Wanted

One hour north of the Golden Gate
A borrowed car, lead foot, two lanes
And I think I'm finally learning now
That no good love tastes like pain
And losing yourself's not a price worth paying
Don't know when
But I'll get there somehow

I'm getting out of the business of missing you weighing me down
The night tires out

And I knew by the light of the morning
Honey, you were just something I wanted
A little bored, a little blue when I'm untethered
The road is lonely, but it goes on forever

Lost my job on a random Friday
Went too far doing things my way
But I think I'm better off now
Finding ways to make a little money
Nothing pays better than doing what you love
And I'm sure I'll figure it out somehow

I'm getting out of the business of missing what's weighing me down
The night tires out

And I knew by the light of the morning
Honey, you were just something I wanted
A little bored, a little blue when I'm untethered
The road is lonely, but it goes on forever

A quiet house is a gut check
Just me and my breath
Took a lifetime tuning my compass
It's harder learning to trust it
Falling asleep in my old bed
Just me and my head
At the start the sheets burn coldest
But next comes the warming

And I knew by the light of the morning
Honey, you were just something I wanted
A little bored, a little blue when I'm untethered
The road is lonely, but it goes on forever

And I knew by the light of the morning
Honey, you were just something I wanted
You did me wrong, but I will do better
The road is open and it goes on forever
