Journey Wasn’t The Same

Intro

Yeah…

It’s Hubs

Pallet Town nights hit different now…

I swear it ain’t the same…

**[Verse 1]**

Back when the dream felt bigger than the map did

Running through the grass, every loss turned to a habit

Pikachu on my shoulder, yeah we really had static

Now I look around, man, the silence feel dramatic

Used to chase badges like they meant I was alive

Now I got ’em all and I’m just asking “what’s the prize?”

Friends came and went like a flicker in the sky

Brock with the wisdom, Misty tears in her eyes

I remember sleeping under stars, no plan

Now it’s different cities, but I don’t feel the fans

Every victory lap just circles back again

Like I’m stuck in a loop I don’t understand

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Yeah, I caught dreams, but they don’t hit the same

Got the world in my hands, still calling your name

All the roads that I walked, all the battles I claimed

Tell me why the journey don’t feel the same

**[Chorus]**

It ain’t the same… nah

It ain’t the same… yeah

Used to feel alive when I heard my name

Now it echo back and it sound like pain

It ain’t the same… nah

It ain’t the same… yeah

Every badge, every win, every hall of fame

But the journey don’t feel the same

**[Verse 2]**

I grew up fast, had to carry that weight

Every kid in the region tryna follow my fate

But they don’t see the nights I was doubting my place

Like what if I ain’t more than the smile on my face?

Charizard flames, but it burned me too

Had to earn that trust, had to learn what’s true

Everybody sees what I turned into

But they don’t see the kid that I used to be, dude

I miss the losses, yeah I miss the grind

When every little step felt like perfect timing

Now I’m standing at the top and I’m still climbing

Looking for a feeling I can’t redefine

**[Bridge]**

If I could go back…

Would I change that path?

Or would I still run

Through the tall grass fast…

Yeah… I don’t know…

**[Chorus]**

It ain’t the same… nah

It ain’t the same… yeah

Used to feel alive when I heard my name

Now it echo back and it sound like pain

It ain’t the same… nah

It ain’t the same… yeah

Every badge, every win, every hall of fame

But the journey don’t feel the same

**[Outro]**

Yeah…

Guess I’m still that kid… just older now…

Still chasing something… just don’t know what…
