  • Mmm, mmm
    Mmm, mmm

    I've been tryna carry on
    But I'm crushed under the weight
    Of the world where I belong
    But I don't feel at home, yeah
    When it's over, when it's done
    When we're standing at the gates
    Will we see that all along, yeah
    We're a different kind of sane?

    How do we get to the bottom of this
    When we're sitting on the top?
    Hey, people, they tell me it's just how it is
    Like it's never gonna stop

    But we got way too much in common
    So what's the point in fighting?
    We got way too many problems if I'm being honest
    I don't know what God is
    'Cause we've got way too much in common (mmm, mmm)
    Way too much in common (mmm, mmm)

    I breathe it in my lungs
    I've seen it in the flesh
    If all we need is love
    How the hell did we forget?

    How do we get to the bottom of this
    When we're sitting at the top?
    People, they tell me it's just how it is
    Like it's never gonna stop

    Oh, we got way too much in common
    So what's the point in fighting?
    We got way too many problems if I'm being honest (yeah)
    I don't know what God is
    Oh, we got way too much in common
    Oh, maybe we forgot it (maybe we forgot it)
    With everybody talkin', ain't nobody listenin'
    I don't know what God is
    'Cause we got way too much in common (mmm, mmm)

    (Mmm, mmm) ooh
    (Mmm, mmm) ooh
    (Mmm, mmm)

    Oh, we got way too much in common
    So what's the point in fighting? (What's the point in fighting?)
    We got way too many problems if I'm being honest
    I don't know what God is
    'Cause we got way too much in common (oh, we got way too much in common)
    Oh, but maybe we forgot it (maybe we forgot it)
    Hey, with everybody talkin' (with everybody talkin')
    Ain't nobody listenin' (ain't nobody listenin')
    I don't know what God is
    But we got way too much in common
    Way too much in common
    Oh, ain't nobody listenin' (ayy)
