No one could ever tell me the truth about my life

It's a light at the end of the tunnel and it's all in my mind

This machine keeps moving more efficiently

The truth of my life is I cannot see it coming

I am just a common man trying not to burn the whole thing down

Falling like a grain of sand, the hour glass flips itself around

Never knew that I could shine so well but I have found

With friction and time it gets smoother, it gets smoother, it gets smoother, smoother

Mom and Dad you gave me more love than you had got

There's a reservoir below us it's bubbling up

It comes from beneath our roofs, it keeps us alive

Yeah you did more than you knew you could and you were just trying

I am just a common man trying not to burn the whole thing down

Falling like a grain of sand, the hour glass flips itself around

Never knew that I could shine so well but I have found

With friction and time it gets smoother, it gets smoother, it gets smoother, smoother

When i think of you babe, wanna give you all my best

I'm neurotic and true blue but I own my own mess

Can our love be a reminder, remind me, remind me

Yeah the best stuff in life I can never see it coming

I am just a common man trying not to burn the whole thing down

Falling like a grain of sand, the hour glass flips itself around

Never knew that I could shine so well but I have found

With friction and time it gets smoother, it gets smoother, it gets smoother, smoother
