On the Curve

I was better off not knowing what you said

A thousand words were spoken but none of them were meant

You called out for faster earth

'Cause you struggle when it's slow

You bet on like you want it

But when you get it you let go

You keep me on the curb

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 the burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope you're practiced and perfect

'Cause you aren't even worth it

I was better off not knowing what you meant

I lacked a notion, a thought and none of it made sense

You cried out for slower earth

'Cause you falter when it's fast

And you say that you still need it

But then you won't let go of the past

And you keep me on the curb

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 the burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope you're practiced and perfect

'Cause you aren't even worth it

Oh, I know I

We're never ever gonna get there and maybe

All this is ancient history

When I love someone

They know there's something out there

I hope

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 the burden in one hand

For the sake of all I hope you're practiced and perfect

'Cause you aren't even worth it

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 curb
