Jeff Falk - 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
