Becoming You Lyrics & Chords By Canasta

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
