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
