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)
