Something In Common

Something In Common - Dawes

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

Somethings 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've loved somebody

Everything's to blame

And I don't want her to

Ever feel ashamed

But all my best kept secrets are

The one's 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
