[Verse 1]
You throw one punch
They knock you down
That’s when you first meet the ground

You throw ten more
Knocked down again
The ground may have found a friend

You go two rounds
Then go two more
Really learn to love the floor

The more you lose
The more you learn
Choose, don’t refuse the burn

[Pre-Chorus]
And every scar is one you’ve earned

[Chorus]
Give me an inch don’t promise me a mile
Give me an ounce don’t sell me on a ton
Steady and slow may not be what’s in style but
That’s how you build it and own it when you’re done…
[Verse 2]
Defeated once?
That’s everyone
First time you jump the gun

Defeated twice
Now that’s a start
Third makes a bitter heart

Once you hit ten
You start to find
Winning’s a waste of time

You learn much more
Each time you lose
If you never tried at all then

[Pre-Chorus]
You’d be undefeated too…

[Chorus]
Give me an inch don’t promise me a mile
Give me an ounce don’t sell me on a ton
Steady and slow may not be what’s in style but
That’s how you build it and own it when you’re done…
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Give me an inch don’t promise me a mile
Give me an ounce don’t sell me on a ton
Steady and slow may not be what’s in style but
That’s how you build it and own it when you’re done…
