Success

[Hook]
I think it's time for us to meet
This is tongue in cheek
We've been apart too long for me
But I always feel so close, kid
You must know you're such a tease
But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet

[Verse 1]
So I told her
I really feel like we'd have something special
Already feel like I've known you forever
Spent at least six years trying to get to know you better
Though whenever I get close you seem to be someone else's
Tell me, was it something that I said?
Because I told you how I really felt?
Seems to me, most of these other boys
Want you with some hollow words
But I honestly believe we were put here for something else
Can you imagine all the things we'd achieve?
All the mountains we could move just between you and me?
Instead, we're caught at war between the Capulets and Montagues
The nagging self-doubt that's telling me to move on from you
But I swear that I don't want to
So I'm clinging to the hope that a real dose of honesty
Might be enough to jam my foot in this door
And force it open long enough to show 'em what they want from me

[Pre-Chorus]
But they don't wanna talk about it
They got no more time
So I just sit here waiting

[Hook]
I think it's time for us to meet
This is tongue in cheek
We've been apart too long for me
But I always feel so close, kid
You must know you're such a tease
But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet
I know there's other boys
But I still feel you're in my reach
But whenever I get close you leave like shimmers in my sleep
Your whispers in the breeze, but you're no closer to me
But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet

[Verse 2]
So she told him
This ain't the time
I never said just take a ticket and form a line
I know you're mine
But I got my own records to knock out before I shine
So if I'm supposed to stand next to you
How I stand for my own thing too?
But winning means distance
Distance means pain
So wait till I'm ruling the world 'fore we meet again
But I can't take the distance
You're always out of reach, and it never makes a difference
I spend my whole life waiting on decisions
From people who don't understand the change that we could bring them
Well, I'd hate for us to lose independence
If you have me now you can have me forever
It's not just about us any more, it's for the family
And everything we'd do if I could just make you stand by me

[Pre-Chorus]
But they don't wanna talk about it
They got no more time
So I just sit here waiting

[Hook]
I think it's time for us to meet
This is tongue in cheek
We've been apart too long for me
But I always feel so close, kid
You must know you're such a tease
But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet
I know there's other boys
But I still feel you're in my reach
But whenever I get close you leave like shimmers in my sleep
Your whispers in the breeze, but you're no closer to me
But you can count my need by all the miles under my feet

[Outro]
I swear it's tearing me apart
Knowing I might never see your face again, my love
But if I don't, at least I'll know
That I deserved you from the start
Said, if I don't, at least I'll know
That I deserved you from the start
Said, if I don't, at least I'll know
That I deserved you from the start
