In the perfect conversation we're standing at the station

And you're begging me, "please don't go"

You say, "the only thing that matters in this world

is that we need each other so"



In theperfect conversation without any hesitation

I tell you, I was wrong

I say, "girl, you know sometimes my faith is weak

and my pride is much too strong"



In this perfect conversation here in my imagination

Somehow I know just when to say what's right

And I know just what I'm losing

Before this train I'm on starts moving

And I'm running though the door to hold you tight

The perfect conversation always ends

Before we say goodbye



All that I can hear now, so loud and so clear now

Are the words I could not seem to find

Everything I didn't say keeps coming back

One mile at a time



In this perfect conversation here in my imagination

Somehow I know just when to say what's right

And I know I'll never leave you

'Cause I know how much I need you

And I tell you that I love you just in time

The perfect conversation always ends

Before we say goodbye



The perfect conversation always ends

Before we say goodbye
