Ahead Of The Curve

Another perfect day
 They keep pilin' up
 I got happiness that I can maintain
 So beginner's luck
 I had shoes to fill
 Walkin' barefoot now
 Can't tell north from south
 But no split hair's gonna get me down
 I'm stayin' above the flat line
 I'm ahead of the curve
 Take a piece of the sunshine with me
 On a redeye flight to another world
 It isn't any trouble
 If you wanna come with me
 I know it's out of the question, honey
 But I sure could use the company
 And a place to be
 ♪
 Now the sky is pink
 Rooftop swimmin' pool
 I'm not carefree, no
 I'm free to care
 I just never do
 All the bags are checked
 And the reasons why
 Yesterday lingers on
 That's the piece you keep when you say goodbye
 You can get what you want now
 Knock it out of the park
 Bury it by the river, easy
 There's a search party but it's getting dark
 I won't hold you to nothin'
 I wanna make that plane
 Probably end up a stranger and crazy
 But I'm still hopin' there's another way
 And a place to stay
 ♪
 What the scene has got too sentimental
 When the night comes
 When the night comes loose
 All the things you put upon the mantle
 What a shame
 What a shame
 It's old news
 I'm stayin' above the flatline
 I'm ahead of the curve
 Take a piece of the sunshine with me
 On an all-night drive to another world
 You can get what you want now
 Knock it out of the park
 Probably end up a drifter and lonely
 But I'm still hoping for a change of heart
 And a place
 A place
 A place
 To start
