Verse 1 I used to count the days till I could get away Thought money in the bank would make the noise fade New keys, new rooms, new names in my phone Funny how a full house can still feel alone I learned how to smile when the numbers went up How to raise that glass like it all was enough Everybody asking how it feels at the top I just learned the climb does not tell you when to stop Pre-Chorus I got what I chased Still carried the weight Turns out winning never taught me What was worth the race Chorus I thought getting there would change me Thought the view would make it clear But the higher that I climbed The less I knew why I was here I got everything I wanted Still something would not disappear Turns out you can outrun nothing Just because you change the gear Verse 2 I bought better clothes, learned better rooms Learned everybody loves you when they think you cannot lose But the people who knew me before all the shine Were the ones who could tell when I said I was fine Now I care less about who knows my name Less about winning somebody else's game Give me one good table, a couple real friends Something worth building when the spotlight ends Pre-Chorus I got what I chased Still carried the weight Turns out winning never taught me What was worth the race Chorus I thought getting there would change me Thought the view would make it clear But the higher that I climbed The less I knew why I was here I got everything I wanted Still something would not disappear Turns out you can outrun nothing Just because you change the gear Bridge Maybe success ain't the finish line Maybe it's just where you finally find What you were running from Was riding with you all along Final Chorus I don't need getting there to change me I can finally see it clear I spent years chasing a destination When the life was already here I still want something worth building I still want a reason to steer But I don't need another mountain Just to prove that I was here
