Something in Common

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But I'm hoping they've got something in common I'm hoping they've got somethings in common [Verse 3] 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've loved somebody, everything's to blame And I don't want her to ever feel ashamed [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Chorus]
