Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Headlights blastin', asphalt screams
Another town, another teenage dream
Windows rolled down, singin' off-key loud
Destination nowhere, just chasin' the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
Always lookin' forward, never lookin' back
Thinkin' happiness is on the next railroad track
But the miles tick by, the scenery fades
Is this all there is? Is this what life portrays?
[Chorus]
Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies
'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes
It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road
This is the journey, gotta learn to unload
[Verse 2]
Dead-end jobs and late-night talks
Empty promises and late night walks
Fightin' with my best friend, slammin' the door
This ain't the picture I'm painting anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Always lookin' forward, never plantin' seeds
Thinkin' paradise is behind those trees
But the days grow long, the nights grow cold
Is this all there is? Is this story untold?
[Chorus]
Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies
'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes
It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road
This is the journey, gotta learn to unload
[Bridge]
Scars on my knuckles, dirt under my nails
These are the memories that life unveils
The detours and wrong turns, the laughter and tears
These are the moments that conquer my fears
[Chorus]
Maybe they were wrong, all those graduation lies
'Cause the future's lookin' blurry through tear-stained eyes
It's not the finish line, it's the bumpy road
This is the journey, gotta learn to unload
[Outro]
This is the journey, gotta take it on my own
This is the journey, yeah, never grow old
This is the journey, let time unfold
This is the journey, our story untold
