The Curve Lyrics by Travis Shallow

The Great Divide

2017

(VERSE)
There's some things that just happen
And throw a wrench in your plans
And you come out dirty on the other side
And you call yourself a man
I held your heart like a wounded dove and I tried to fix your wing
But all that time I spent alone I tried
To teach you how to fly right back to me
(CHORUS)
I never wanted my condition to find its way to you
I guess I’ll never know how much you knew until we're through
And I think about that love we shared like a panhandle road
And every curve we took led to the unknown 
Every curve we took led to the unknown
(VERSE)
Some people come for comfort, some people come for sand
They walk along the beach and pick up shells upon the land
I never did quite understand why you longed for the coast
You said it reminds you of those long walks
On the levy on those Mississippi mornings
(CHORUS)
I never wanted my condition to find its way to you
And I guess I’ll never know how much you knew until we're through
And I think about that love we shared like a panhandle road
And every curve we took led to the unknown 
And every curve we took led to the unknown
​
(VERSE)
Some people live to gamble, they lay it all on the line
They pray that those 3 sevens fall in place side-by-side
One-armed bandits, waiting on bullets
And that classic dead man’s hand
Well I’d rather make my own luck
Being right here playing these songs where I stand
(SOLO)
​
(CHORUS)
I never wanted my condition, to find its way to you
And I guess I’ll never know how much you knew until we're through
And I think about that love we shared like a panhandle road
And every curve we took led to the unknown 
And every curve we took led to the unknown
​
(VERSE)
There's some things that just happen
They throw a wrench in your plans
And you come out dirty on the other side
And you call yourself a man
I held your heart like a wounded dove and I tried to fix your wing
But all that time I spent alone I tried
To teach you how to fly right back to me
