On The Curve

I was better off not knowing what you said

A thousand words were spoken but none of them were meant

You call out for faster earth

Cuz you struggle when it’s slow

You battle like you want it

But when you get it you let go

You keep me on the curve

This is how it always ends

This is when you know you’re standing backwards and straining

And you won’t even face me

With a burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope

You're practiced and perfect

Cuz you aren't even worth it

I was better off not knowing what you meant

An act a notion a thought and none of it made sense

You cry out for slower earth

Cuz you falter when it's fast

And you say that you still need it

But then you won't let go the past

And you keep me on the curve

This is how it always ends

This is when you know you’re standing backwards and straining

And you won’t even face me

With a burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope

You're practiced and perfect

Cuz you aren't even worth it

Oh I know why we're never ever gonna get there

And maybe all this is ancient history

If I love someone they know

There's something out there I hold

This is how it always ends

This is when you know you’re standing backwards and straining

And you won’t even face me

With a burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope

You're practiced and perfect

Cuz you aren't even worth it

Feel the hurt

I know we're never ever gonna get there

And maybe that's what you wanted all this time

I was better off not knowing where you went, you keep me on the curve
