lyrics

I thought you’d made it past that dead man’s curve, and though so many fell, you would endure, and those contagious blues had failed, because you had found the cure. I thought you’d shaken off that poet’s curse, that you could stand up to the same old verse, and if you felt that fatal hook, you’d simply change the words.

I thought if you weren’t through it all, at least you were through the worst. I really thought you’d made it past that dead man’s curve.

I thought you’d made it through that fire unburnt, that exaltation could outweigh hurt. I thought you’d want to ride it out, enjoy the life you’d earned.

And in every tragedy, there’s a lesson to be learned, but I really thought you’d made it past that dead man’s curve.

And I hope you found the peace and quiet you deserve, but I really wish you’d made it past that dead man’s curve.
