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
