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
