Wasn't Made for Running

If freedom had a face, it’d have your eyes

The color of open sky

You’re window cranks and four-wheel drive

But I kiss my fingers at a yellow stoplight

I know you don’t want to stay here

Feeling tethered

Too much heavy weather

I want to be sun, for you I’m trying

But I do the dishes with sore fingers, I can’t leave them overnight

I want to be wild for you

Sink my teeth in

Howl my love

I wasn’t made

For running baby

But I wish I was

You gave me so much room

But it turns out something about me was suffocating you

The worst is that there’s no one here to blame

We’re just not the same

But could you learn to love a tame thing?

I want to be wild for you

Sink my teeth in

Howl my love

I wasn’t made

For running baby

But I wish I was

Is this the best we can do, no room for compromise?

If I don’t set the alarm, can you just stay the night?

Won’t fight the ocean but I’ll wait for the change in tides
