The Perfect Conversation
A Heartfelt Journey: The Perfect Conversation by Mark Wills
Lyrics
In the perfect conversation we're standing at the station
In an ideal conversation, we're at a station, about to part ways.
And you're begging me, "please don't go"
You're pleading with me not to leave.
You say, "the only thing that matters in this world
You express that the essential thing in life is our mutual dependence.
is that we need each other so"
Emphasizing the importance of needing each other.
In the perfect conversation without any hesitation
In this ideal conversation, I admit my fault without delay.
I tell you, I was wrong
I confess my mistake, acknowledging my moments of doubt and stubbornness.
I say, "girl, you know sometimes my faith is weak
I convey that sometimes I lack faith and my pride gets in the way.
and my pride is much too strong"
My pride often overpowers my willingness to accept help.
In this perfect conversation here in my imagination
In this perfect scenario within my mind, I always know the right things to say.
Somehow I know just when to say what's right
I have an innate understanding of when to express the correct sentiments.
And I know just what I'm losing
I'm aware of what I stand to lose before departing on a journey.
Before this train I'm on starts moving
Realizing what I'm missing before leaving and wanting to hold onto it.
And I'm running though the door to hold you tight
Desiring to embrace you tightly before the train departs.
The perfect conversation always ends
In this imagined conversation, it always concludes at the right moment.
Before we say goodbye
Ending before the need to bid farewell arises.
All that I can hear now, so loud and so clear now
All I can hear clearly now are the words I couldn't articulate.
Are the words I could not seem to find
The unspoken thoughts keep resurfacing.
Everything I didn't say keeps coming back
Regretting the things left unsaid, realizing their recurrence as I move away.
One mile at a time
Reflecting on missed opportunities as I journey away, bit by bit.
In this perfect conversation here in my imagination
Similar to earlier, a perfect conversation where I always say the right things.
Somehow I know just when to say what's right
An innate sense guides me on what to express correctly.
And I know I'll never leave you
A commitment to not abandon you, recognizing my reliance on you.
'Cause I know how much I need you
Acknowledging how much I depend on you and confessing my love just in time.
And I tell you that I love you just in time
Expressing affection before the conversation concludes.
The perfect conversation always ends
The ideal conversation always ends appropriately.
Before we say goodbye
Before the need to bid farewell arises.
The perfect conversation always ends
Reiterating that the perfect conversation concludes before goodbyes.
Before we say goodbye
Ending the conversation before the need to say goodbye.
