Rise Against - The Approaching Curve Lyrics

Send "The Approaching Curve" ringtone to your cell

The music played with a common frequency

The speakers gently seeped the sound

Of ambient keyboards and light percussion

Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive

Through curtains of blackness

The windows were cold to the touch

Reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity

Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass

And streets with melted snow cascaded down its length

The music pulsed louder yet gentle

Like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water

The skylight was glowing faintly

With a vague hints of an impending dawn

The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road

And she hadnt so much as turned the steering wheel

Two degrees in the past twenty minutes

Or hardly spoken

As we were so perfect so happy

Ill remember only our smiles

'Cause thats all theyve seen

Long since dried when we are found

Are the tears in which we had drowned

As we were so perfect so happy

Why are you doing this?

She spoke without expecting a response

Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive

So silent my heart had jumped

Im not doing anything I said

But I didnt even believe that myself

This is whats best for me for you for us

Or maybe just for me I thought

As a tear formed in the pit of her eye

The music poured through the speakers

And we were losing ourselves in the cadence

She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes

For a bit longer than a standard blink

Then she was crying then she was shouting

Then I was shouting now pouring confessions

Having no answers or solutions

And we barely could even hear the questions

As we were so perfect so happy

Ill remember only our smiles

'Cause thats all theyve seen

Long since dried when we are found

Are the tears in which we had drowned

As we were so perfect so happy

Dont put me underground

I was meant for a life somewhere else

Please Lord give me the way

Before both of us haunt you

Well steal tonight

(Well steal tonight)

As we were so perfect so happy

Dont remember only your smiles

'Cause thats all theyve seen

Long since dried when we are found

Are the tears in which we had drowned

As we were so perfect so happy

Our cracking voices became part of the music

The car pressed on faster through he night

As our voices lowered the cadence again overtook the air

Up ahead there was a curve approaching

She made no indications of slowing
