A thousand miles And twenty minutes sleep The testing patience (patience) The taste of defeat, it's in my eyes A distant memory Cold and lonely midnight pavement told me not to wait 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 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 (See me now)
