Straight Curve

We're going down a straight curve, all along the while And people have you heard, all about the child Up above God asked you, won't you hold it down Feeling our way through, digging up the sound And the blanket of hope surrounds us, feeding our every thought Covering us from all the bad luck, wanting to never be caught Chorus We can see the lightning now, Blinding both our eyes somehow We will do as we're told, Standing by our very souls Wishing only what should not be, Won't somebody answer me Out of sight, not out of mind, Soon we're running out of time We're going down a straight curve, things never look the same Life seems so absurd, ain't if time for a change The old ones for the new kind, you can't leave the home It's gonna get worse with time, But you're no longer alone And if the ball rolls off this sand hill road, Someone's there to see it down "This cup's half full" is the way we chose, The only way around Chorus We're going down a straight curve, trying not to lose our minds Holding on at every turn, never keeping between the lines Virginia's always home to us, feeding our heads with hope We don't think about it much, cause we know we'll always know If the time runs out on our show somehow, You'll be there to turn it back So check your coat; you'll be here for now Realizing what we have Chorus
