Rise Against - The Approaching Curve lyric

The music played with a calming frequency.
The speakers jamming 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.
Soft stains and fingerprints littered the glass,
and streets with melted snow cascaded down it's length.
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle,
like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.
The skyline was glowing faintly
with a vague hints of an impending dawn.
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road.
She hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees
in the last twenty minutes, or hardly spoken.
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.
They'll remember, only our smiles, because that's all they've 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 as if not expecting a response.
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive,
so sudden my heart had jumped.
�I'm not doing anything,� I said, but I didn't even believe that myself.
�This is what's 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, and I was shouting, now pouring confessions,
having no answers, or solutions,
We barely even knew the questions.
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.
They'll remember, only our smiles because that's all they've seen.
Long since dried, when we are found,
are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
Don't put me underground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.
Please Lord give me the way out, before both of us haunt you
Will steal tonight. (Will steal tonight.)
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
they'll remember, only our smiles because that's all they've 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.
