Something in Common Lyrics

You and I have something in common

Something I never wished for you

It's a hole in the bottom of your heart

But it lets you see the truth

You see you and I we're both

Students of the universe

We know that sometimes

Things can be worse

Than what we want

We go along

And take in stride

The things in life

Years ago I tried to discover

What was going wrong with me

Lots of pain

An uncertain future

Lucky to be in this century

And then you were born

Your smile

Is etched in my memory

You lived right through miraculously

It's such a gift that we have lived

Let's be our best and give a kiss to life

Days go on like everything's normal

It's amazing what life brings

You're away in Mexico City

I'm at a startup company

And I hope so hard

That life smooths over the scars

We'll take from this

Compassion and thankfulness

And all our tries will blur the lines

We'll still survive

And even thrive alive

It's great to be alive
