Mike + the Mechanics

Released: June 7, 2004

Songwriter: B.A. Robertson Paul Carrack Mike Rutherford

Producer: Peter Van Hooke Mike Rutherford

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
