Dawes - Something In Common Lyrics
All my mornings start with the alarm clockEvery dream gets stopped before the endAnd with each bit I rememberThe more the details run togetherAnd I'm left with a message I don't comprehendI've lost contact with the great beyond againAnd as I stare over my breakfast and out into the streetI 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 commonI'm hoping they've got something in commonThe way that love attacks and then surrendersThe things I mean the most when I say her nameAnd if he ever speaks of me casuallyI hope he does so carefully'Cause when you've loved somebody, everything's to blameAnd I don't want her to ever feel ashamedBut all my best kept secrets are the ones I didn't know I hadSo I couldn't even tell her if I wantedThat the way that she remembers me is not the way I really amBut I'm hoping they've got something in commonI'm hoping they've got something in commonSo I feel like a man behind a cameraWho waits patiently for something he won't seeI need to stop giving suggestionsAnd just illuminate the questionsThat seems much more accurate to meTo keep the frame as wide as it can be'Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my wayRevealed themselves the moment I stopped watching'Cause it's not faith that comes from miraclesBut miracles that come from faithAnd I'm sure that they've got something in commonI know that they've got something in commonI know that they've got something in common
