Destination lyrics:
You don't owe me
One more minute of your wasted time
You act like it's all fine
But all the years I gave you
Thinking you knew that you wanted me
I wanted to believe
I've gotta make a destination
Find where I belong
This time I've got no hesitation
And I'll be movin' on
To where I belong
I'm movin' on
I'm tired of trying
To describe what you will never see
How good we could be
You gave up and lost touch
And now you're looking for a little grace
Well look at my face
I've gotta make a destination
Find where I belong
There ain't no time for hesitation
I'll be movin' on
To where I belong
I'll be movin' on
Over the line I've drawn
I'm already gone
Empty, cornered, but I keep movin'
Taking hits while you've been missing
Night after night, after I hear you
Say we're solid
But I know we're looking through the cracks
In our little pact
It isn't hard to leave
Knowing that I'll be getting life on track
Never looking back
I've gotta make a destination
Find where I belong
This time I've got no hesitation
I'm already gone
I'm movin' on
Find where I belong
Over the line I've drawn
I'm movin' on
Find where I belong
I'm already gone

Nickel Creek official bio:
Nickel Creek is the platinum-selling, internationally renowned roots trio of mandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkins. The Grammy-winning band has revolutionized folk and roots music since first performing together as children at a pizza parlor in San Diego in 1989, signing to acclaimed roots label Sugar Hill Records after wowing the bluegrass circuit for a decade. Nickel Creek quickly broke through in 2000 with their Grammy-nominated, Alison Krauss-produced self-titled LP, which showcased not just their instrumental virtuosity but their burgeoning songwriting prowess. The trio quickly followed that effort with the Krauss-produced This Side, a landmark release that earned Nickel Creek the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
The tour—their first as a group since 2014—adds to a landmark year for Nickel Creek, who recently released Celebrants, their first new album in nine years. Their fifth studio album, Celebrants marks a highly anticipated return for the beloved trio and explores the inherent dynamics of human connection. Across the 18 tracks, the trio addresses love, friendship and time with lyrics both poetic and plain-spoken, as they see bridges built, crossed, burned and rebuilt. Recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, the album was produced by longtime collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Grace Potter, Weezer) and features Mike Elizondo on bass.
