Canasta - Becoming You lyrics

This time, it's awfully clear to me That this will be My final chance I'm on my way down to see you there And meet your stare And take a stance You're not in much of any shape to speak Your words are weak Or so I've heard Somehow, you always seem to understand What I have planned Without a word You say, "People drift away, that's okay" But I don't hold against you Things you think I do It only makes me more determined To get it right when it's my turn To become you So that's what I'll do I don't care much for football scores The great outdoors Guys being guys I don't dream of fast cars, fat cigars Or other things I'm supposed to prize I'm no good at spending time alone Down to the bone I bite my nails But I am faithful to the ones I love And that's enough I will not fail You say, "People drift away, that's okay" But I don't hold against you Things you think I do It only makes me more determined To get it right when it's my turn To become you
