Common Song Lyrics

I'm going down to the store

Where strangers tell stories

And here's one

He's the shoemaker's son

Said, "I'd rather run barefoot and bleed

If that's what it takes

That you'll remember me

I've been trying to find a reason"

I just want to care

Deeply again

I just want to earn a contrast

To the pain

I just want to feel

Deeply again

Or nothing at all

It's just another common song

As the story goes

Soon the stranger is a friend

And that's common here

Where we all are in the end

I need this

I need you all here in the cold

Huddled together

All the roaming dragnet souls

Who just want to care

Deeply again

Just want to earn a contrast

To the pain

Just want to feel

Deeply again

Or nothing at all

Oh, it's me, the least known denominator

I decided I'm the key

And I'll find one in the rubble later, eventually

It'll be worth having on

It'll be one that you want

Make you feel common again

For a short time

No longer alone

For a short time

It's just another common song
