You Should See Me Now

A thousand miles and twenty minutes sleep

The testing patience, the taste of defeat

It's in my eyes, a distant memory

The cold and lonely midnight pavement told me not to wait and

Good things come to those who persevere

And it takes blood, sweat, distance and tears, no fear, no excuses

All that could've been, does it haunt you now?

Is this what you meant when you'd see me around?

How could I forget you only had your doubts?

Well, maybe that was then, but you should see me now

No, I'm never home

It's all I've got, I can't let it go

It's all I've ever known

I've dragged myself across airports and oceans

But I still miss you and the sound of train lines

Only sometimes

All that could've been, does it haunt you now?

Is this what you meant when you'd see me around?

How could I forget you only had your doubts?

Well, maybe that was then, but you should see me

Now and then, I think of the past and all I gave up

The sacrifice it takes, yeah, I hope I made you proud

And if you got a dream, don't let 'em get you down

Throwing wishes in the wind, yeah, you should see me now

Good things come to those who persevere

And it takes blood, sweat, distance and tears, no fear, no excuses

All that could've been, does it haunt you now?

Is this what you meant when you'd see me around?

How could I forget you only had your doubts?

Well, maybe that was then, but you should see me now

You should see me now
