Pushing up this mountain
Flying down those hills
Everything I own is
Strapped behind the wheel
And it's me now
Yeah it’s me now, it’s me now
I fall asleep beneath the stars
Trying to figure out my place
I was always rushing through
As if this were a race
But it’s just me now
Yeah it’s me now, it’s me now

Trying to figure out these rules
But I’ve long since given up
We’re born here on our own
And the rest is all made up

Cause the journey, journey
Only counts if you’re learning
The journey, journey
Should always set you free
The destination only matters
If you know where you wanna be
The question to ask yourself is
Do I know how to be
The best damn version of me

You can put your hand in mine
If we met here on this road
You can join me on my journey
Cause goodness only knows
It’s just me now
Yeah it’s me now, it’s me now
We'll decide what all this means
If we want some bigger plan
And as time moves us along
Oh, I’ll give it all I am
I know it’s me now
This is me now, I know me now

You can’t give it all you’ve got
If you don’t know what all you have
Who are you with nothing?
When nothing goes as planned?

Cause the journey, journey
Only counts if you’re learning
The journey, journey
Should always set you free
The destination only matters
If you know where you wanna be
The question to ask yourself is
Do I know how to be
The best damn version of me

It’s okay to take it five minutes
Five minutes at a time
Cause you know some days just waking up
Just waking up is the finish line
When you give all you got
You can take what you need
Take what you need, no shame
When we share all we have
We leave this world
Please, this world a better place
There’s no need to complicate

Cause the journey, journey
Only counts if you’re learning
The journey, journey
Should always set you free
The destination only matters
If you know where you wanna be
The question to ask yourself is
Do I know how to be
The journey, journey
Only counts if you’re learning
The journey, journey
Should always set you free
The destination only matters
If you know where you wanna be
The question to ask yourself is
Do I know how to be
The best damn version of me
Version of me
Version of me
