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
