Ahead Of The Curve

Another perfect day

They keep pilin’ up

I got happiness that I can maintain

So beginner’s luck

I had shoes to fill

Walkin’ barefoot now

Can’t tell north from south

But no split hair’s gonna get me down

Stayin’ above the flat line

I’m ahead of the curve

Take a piece of the sunshine with me

On a redeye flight to another world

It isn’t any trouble

If you wanna come with me

I know it’s out of the question, honey

But I sure could use the company

And a place to be

Now the sky is pink

Rooftop swimmin’ pool

I’m not carefree, no

I’m free to care

I just never do

All the bags are checked

And the reasons why

Yesterday lingers on

That’s the piece you keep when you say goodbye

You can get what you want now

Knock it out of the park

Bury it by the river, easy

There’s a search party but it’s getting dark

I won’t hold you to nothin’

I wanna make that plane

Probably end up a stranger and crazy

But I’m still hopin’ there’s another way

And a place to stay

Well, the scene has got you sentimental

When the night comes

When the night comes loose

All the things you put upon the mantle

What a shame

What a shame

It’s old news

I’m stayin’ above the flatline

I’m ahead of the curve

Take a piece of the sunshine with me

On an all-night drive to another world

You can get what you want now

Knock it out of the park

Probably end up a drifter and lonely

But I’m still hoping for a change of heart

And a place

A place

A place

To start
