One More Conversation

[Opening Refrain - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Verse 1 - Rap] I thought we had time, that's the lie that we tell Like tomorrow's guaranteed, like everybody stays well I heard what you said, but I didn't hear enough Now the smallest little memories are the ones I hold onto All those talks at the table, all the wisdom in a joke All the things I brushed aside are the words I need the most Guess you never know a moment while you're living through the day Which ones you'll spend forever wishing you could replay And I don't need a perfect moment, don't need one last goodbye I just wanna sit beside you, hear you talking about life Let the hours move slowly, let the whole world wait outside 'Cause the things I thought were little were the biggest things in life You don't know what someone's worth by what they leave behind It's the way they made you feel when you were running out of light It's the ones who saw the good in you when you could only see the bad Who loved you through the hardest times and never turned their back [Pre-Chorus - Sung] If I'd known then What I know tonight I'd have stayed a little longer Just to hear you talk about life [Chorus - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more chance to hear your voice And just sit and talk awhile One more conversation There's still so much to say Funny how you find the words When someone's gone away [Verse 2 - Rap] Now I understand the things I couldn't then How a dream don't mean much till you turn it to a plan How a family ain't perfect, but you love 'em where they stand And being there means more than just saying that you can You never kept a scorecard, never counted every wrong Never made somebody feel like they didn't belong Even when we lost our way, you never closed the door You had a way of making people feel worth something more And maybe that's a legacy, not money, not a name It's the pieces that you leave in every person that you change It's the way they tell your stories years after you've gone It's the love inside the room that somehow keeps you living on So I'm trying to pay attention now, I'm trying not to rush Trying to say the things that matter to the people that I love Trying to listen when they talk instead of waiting for my turn 'Cause losing someone teaches things you wish you didn't have to learn [Pre-Chorus - Sung] If I'd known then What I know tonight I'd have stayed a little longer Just to hear you talk about life [Bridge - Sung] Maybe somewhere you can hear me Maybe somewhere you can see All the love you left behind here Still becoming part of me And if there's somewhere after this Where all this distance disappears I know we'll have forever then But I'd still take one more night here [Final Chorus - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more chance to hear your voice And just sit and talk awhile One more conversation There's still so much to say And if heaven gives us time again We'll talk the years away One more conversation One more night, one more chance And when I finally see you again I'll have some stories too [Outro - Sung] So save a story for me I'll have some stories too And when we meet again someday We'll have some catching up to do [Opening Refrain - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Verse 1 - Singing Rap] I thought we had time, that's the lie that we tell Like tomorrow's guaranteed, like everybody stays well Never knew I'd miss the talking, never knew I'd miss the sound Of sitting there and listening whenever you're around All those talks at the table, all the wisdom in a joke All the things I brushed aside are the words I need the most I never knew which moments would mean everything someday Or which I'd spend forever wishing I could replay I don't need some grand goodbye, just a little more time Sitting there beside you while you're talking about life This time I wouldn't hurry, wouldn't have somewhere to be I'd listen like I finally knew what those words would mean to me You saw the best in me when I was seen as something less You knew every side of me, the good and all the mess Never cared how far I wandered, you still welcomed me back home That's the kind of love you don't appreciate till it's gone [Chorus - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Verse 2 - Rap] Now the things you tried to teach me finally make a little sense How a dream is only dreaming till you give it some intent How a family isn't perfect, you just love 'em where they stand And showing up for someone says what words alone just can't You taught me love ain't measured by agreeing all the time It's standing there beside 'em when they're struggling through their life Different roads and different choices never made you close the door You had room for everybody, never made 'em ask for more And maybe that's your legacy, not money, not a name It's leaving something good behind in everyone you changed It's hearing all your stories even after you are gone It's seeing pieces of you in the people carrying on So I'll take the things you gave me everywhere this life may go Try to be the kind of man that you were always there to show And if someday someone misses me the way I'm missing you I hope it's 'cause I gave them all the love you taught me to [Chorus - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Bridge -] Maybe leaving isn't ending, maybe time just moves us on Maybe somewhere you're still listening even though you're gone Maybe every word I didn't say is waiting up ahead For the day I get to tell you all the things I never said [Final Chorus - Sung] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Final Chorus - Repeat] One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now One more conversation That's all I'd ask for now [Outro - Sung]
