Not the Final Destination Lyrics

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
