Learning Curve Lyrics

Sleeping At Last Learning Curve

I had a good dream
We built a home
It was far from perfect
But we made it our own

We lived a good life
We gave and we borrowed
It was far from perfect
But we made it our own

When everything around us changed, we felt okay
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of
shape

When we took one step forward, and five steps behind
We were still more than able to walk a straight line

We had a white picket fence in the front yard
Where our grass was plenty green
Every window in our house
Welcomed in the sun's company

We had hardwood floors and unlocked doors
Our grass was plenty full
Though our bills were only barely met
Our hearts were plenty whole

When everything around us changed, we felt okay
No learning curve could ever bend us too far out of
shape
When darkness was the price of light, we weren't afraid
For the time we've spent was more than worth
Any interest that we've paid

We lived a good life, a good life
When my eyes were closed
Though the question marks were all the same
And the burdens never left
We gambled everything we loved
As though there was some kind of safety net

And when my good dream
Came to an end
I woke up more than ready to bend
