Conversation Drifts Lyrics

In My Eyes Conversation Drifts

Every time I talk to you conversation drifts the same way
Things you wish you'd seen or wanted to do
There's always something in the way
We risk so little and regret so much
I don't lack the will to try
I have to do what's right for me
I don't mean to pass you by
I know I'm living up to what I want
I have something strong to believe
Making memories that last
Won't live in the past
Know what I need to succeed
It's not fame and fortune or mass appeal
Those promises are empty to me
It's earning respect and honor from friends
My sense of security
It took so long to find this all
And it can never be replaced
You can hold a grudge-suspect everyone
I'll trust an honest face
If I fail in your eyes,
I might gain something you can't comprehend
Such a waste to never have a passion
I'll follow mine until the end
