[verse I]
Don’t ever see myself arriving, not while I’m breathing
Every step I take gets me closer to being
Why is it so hard to pat myself on the back
When I put in the work to get to where I am?

[PRE-CHORUS]
Why it gotta be what’s “wrong”?
Why can’t it ever go right?
Maybe if I turn it around then I’ll have a different eye

[CHORUS]
I need all the gas that I can get
There’s a long road up ahead
The journey ain’t shit
But the destination is lit

[verse ii]
When you really get a gander at
Just how long you’ve been traveling
You don’t realize the ways that you came

I don’t believe I’m blessed
Though my mother begs to differ
I think life was gentle when it dealt my hand


[PRE-CHORUS]
I can’t forget to give myself grace
When I’m fighting, you think I’m all great
Sometimes words don’t have the time to play today

[CHORUS: 2X]
I need all the gas that I can get
There’s a long road up ahead
The journey ain’t shit
But the destination is lit

[BRIDGE: 2x]
Gotta take it moment by moment
Cause a lot can happen in a day
No use in beating myself up
The world is gonna do it anyway

Of course, I’m a “slow burn”.
I’m the sun, not a match.

[CHORUS: 2x]
I need all the gas that I can get
There’s a long road up ahead
The journey ain’t shit
But the destination is lit

Whew, I made it… now how I’m gon’ get back?
