《The Approaching Curve》歌词

[00:00:01] Rise Against

[00:00:02] The Approaching Curve

[00:00:13] The music blared with a calming frequency.

[00:00:16] The speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion,

[00:00:20] Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.

[00:00:23] The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.

[00:00:28] Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streets with melted snow cascaded down its length.

[00:00:33] The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.

[00:00:39] The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn.

[00:00:43] The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road,

[00:00:45] And she hadn’t so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes,

[00:00:49] Nor had we spoken.

[00:00:53] As we were, so perfect ,so happy.

[00:00:58] They'll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.

[00:01:05] Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.

[00:01:12] As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[00:01:19] “Why are you doing this?” she spoke as if not expecting a response.

[00:01:22] Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so suddenly that my heart had jumped.

[00:01:27] “I’m not doing anything,” I said, but I didn’t even believe that myself.

[00:01:31] “This is what’s best, for me, for you, for us or maybe just for me,” I thought,

[00:01:36] As a tear formed in the pit of her eye. The music poured through the speakers

[00:01:40] And we were losing ourselves in the cadence. She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes

[00:01:45] For a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying. Then she was shouting.

[00:01:50] Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions,

[00:01:55] We barely even knew the questions.

[00:01:58] As we were, so perfect ,so happy.

[00:02:04] They’ll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.

[00:02:11] Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.

[00:02:17] As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[00:02:38] Don’t put me under ground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.

[00:02:46] Please Love give me the wheel before both of our hearts you will steal tonight. (Will steal tonight.)

[00:02:58] As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[00:03:04] They'll remember, only your smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.

[00:03:11] Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.

[00:03:18] As we were, so perfect, so happy.

[00:03:24] Our cracking voices became part of the music.

[00:03:27] The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,

[00:03:30] The cadence again overtook the air.

[00:03:32] Up ahead there was a curve approaching.

[00:03:34] She made no indications of slowing.
