[Intro]
Windows down
Same old road
New pair of eyes
Heart in roam
[Verse 1]
I was stuck on the finish line
Countin' goals like a scoreboard light
Then I blinked and the days sped by
Whole life livin' in a highlight reel
Now I’m watchin' where the pavement peel
Little cracks in the curb feel real
Coffee steam in the cold air curlin'
Whole world turnin', I’m just learnin'
Missed trains, yeah, I used to curse 'em
Now delays turn to chance encounters
Wrong turn took me past that fountain
Sat down, wrote plans on a napkin (mm)
Every setback just a back road
Every detour holdin' black gold
Now I taste rain in the windshields
Every mile make the fear slow
[Chorus]
I’m in love with the journey of life
Not the mountain, but the climb, that vibe
Sunrise on the dash, wide eyes
Every left, every right, that’s mine
I’m in love with the journey of life
All the wrong turns talk, alright
If the road bend, cool, I’ll slide
I’m in love with the journey, the ride (yeah, the ride)
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "Boy, don’t rush your seasons"
Leaves fall, you’ll find your reasons
I was tryna skip straight to the credits
Now I’m sittin' through the scenes I dreaded
Late rent, three calls from collections
Still I found grace in the tension
Shared fries with my friends at midnight
We were broke but the jokes hit just right
Scars on my hand from the grind days
Still shine when I clap on my good days
That heartbreak cracked me wide open
Let new light pour through the swollen
I used to chase some perfect version
Now I dance with the awkward person
In the mirror, in the moment
Every flaw got a place, I own it (own it)
[Chorus]
I’m in love with the journey of life
Not the mountain, but the climb, that vibe
Sunrise on the dash, wide eyes
Every left, every right, that’s mine
I’m in love with the journey of life
All the wrong turns talk, alright
If the road bend, cool, I’ll slide
I’m in love with the journey, the ride (the ride, the ride)
[Bridge]
What if this is already it?
All we prayed for, in the midst
All the beauty hid in small shifts
Tiny wins, quiet gifts (yeah)
So I bless each step I take
Even when my legs both shake
Every breath, new chance I take
Every day, love the way I wake
[Chorus]
I’m in love with the journey of life
Not the mountain, but the climb, that vibe
Sunrise on the dash, wide eyes
Every left, every right, that’s mine
I’m in love with the journey of life
All the wrong turns talk, alright
If the road bend, cool, I’ll slide
I’m in love with the journey, the ride (the ride)
