You Should See Me Now

A thousand miles
And 20 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 them 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
