Seeing You Songtext
von Tim Minchin

Drove out of town, took a right onto a northbound highway.
Was it really only yesterday?
If I had known what now I know maybe I
Would have taken a moment.
Maybe looked over my shoulder.
Maybe shed a tear.
Now I′m here.

A storm rolled in, overwhelmed me sometime late this morning.
Think I ignored the warning.

I spent a lifetime seeking signs, reading lines,
Trying to forecast the future.
Always staying a day ahead.
Well that was the idea,
But I'm here.


I thought I′d seen it all, was sure by now I knew this place.
I swear that I knew every hair, each line upon your face.
I thought the only way to better days was through tomorrow,
But I know now that I know.
Yes I know now that I know nothing.

But I'm here,
And I'm fine.
And I′m seeing you
For the first time.
I′m alright,
And I'm seeing you
For the first time.

I thought I′d seen it all before,
I thought I knew everything there was to know, about men like you,
And I was sure,
I thought the only way to better days was through tomorrow,
But I know now that I know nothing.
Yes I know now that I know that I'm here,
And I′m fine and I'm seeing you,
For the first time.
I′m alright,
And I'm seeing you.
