Obsession of a dream since I was just fourteen

Same at twenty-four, I just couldn't let it go

Make it all the way

Failure not an option

I made up my mind that I was gonna see it through

What I didn't know

I was living for an idea

Never did appreciate where I was at

For a realized dream, the cost is colossal

Giving up my life in the present time

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we are

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we live

Yeah, it's got you, can't breathe

There's something there that I want

It gets better – you think

Is it something here that I have?

Yeah, it's not the way you think

Concede at hands that liberate me

They say 'It is our nature to succeed

And the weak only concede'

But do we hold tight

Obsession... or is it life?

Never good enough

I always wanted more, then

Couldn't be fulfilled 'til I reached that prize

Then I found out what I took for granted

The people in my life and our precious time

What is at the core? The need for self-worth

It's how I told myself I'd be alive

Captivating me until I let go

And the dream fell short of a destructive crash

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we are

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we live

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we are

Not the final destination

But the journey's where we live
