Lyrics
An Uncommon Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do we isolate each otherÂ
All the walls we build between usÂ
Make it so hard to be togetherÂ
How can we tear at one anotherÂ
When the thing we have in commonÂ
Is an uncommon loveÂ
Walls can fallÂ
Tears can mendÂ
Why can't we reach across the lineÂ
And touch each otherÂ
Here on two sides of the truthÂ
We've a middle ground in commonÂ
An uncommon loveÂ
Me - I get lost in my emotionsÂ
And I say things in the momentÂ
And sometimes I hurt youÂ
You - think it's a hopeless situationÂ
But there's something you've forgottenÂ
We share an uncommon loveÂ
Time can healÂ
And hearts can mendÂ
So why can't we reach across the lineÂ
And touch each otherÂ
When will we ever learnÂ
That the thing we have in commonÂ
Is an uncommon loveÂ
We have an uncommon love
