Something In Common

All my mornings start with the alarm clock
 Every dream gets stopped before the end
 And with each bit I remember, the more the details run together
 And I'm left with a message I don't comprehend
 I've lost contact with the great beyond again
 And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street
 I find that sorrow I've been chasing way too often
 That the man that stands in front of you is not the sum of all his dreams
 But I'm hoping they've got something in common
 I'm hoping they've got something in common
 ♪
 The way that love attacks and then surrenders
 The things I mean the most when I say her name
 And if he ever speaks of me casually, I hope he does so carefully
 'Cause when you love somebody, everything's to blame
 And I don't want her to ever feel ashamed
 But all my best kept secrets are the ones I didn't know I had
 So I couldn't even tell her if I wanted
 That the way that she remembers me is not the way I really am
 But I'm hoping they've got something in common
 I'm hoping they've got something in common
 I'm hoping they've got something in common

 So I feel like a man behind a camera
 Who waits patiently for something he won't see
 I need to stop giving suggestions and just illuminate the questions
 That seems much more accurate to me
 To keep the frame as wide as it can be
 'Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my way
 Revealed themselves the moment I stopped watching
 'Cause it's not faith that comes from miracles, but miracles that come from faith
 And I'm sure that they've got something in common
 I know that they've got something in common
 I know that they've got something in common
