MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - Somewhere Along The Line

Somewhere along the line

We convince ourselves

Accept the ordinary



Refuse to read the signs

We just can't see

The extraordinary



Somewhere along the way

Dreams become a burden

I don't want to hear you say

That you're not certain of our love



Somewhere behind the sun

All the simple things

Appear as complicated



We substitute the fun

In a complex game

We call sophisticated



Somewhere along the way

Hopes turn to illusion

I don't want to hear you say

It's the conclusion of our love



Somewhere along the way

We lose imagination

It's new just to hear you say

In celebration of our love



Somewhere along the line

We convince ourselves

Accept the ordinary



Refuse to read the signs

We just can't see

The extraordinary



Somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line

Somewhere along the line
