Jason Robert Brown - Nothing in Common lyrics
There was this kid a few years back A little older than me Lived in my house and looked a lot like my mother There was this kid I knew back then I was sure he’d be The greatest star I’d ever known I’d watch him walk into a room And he was never out of place He knew the answer to every question The square and cube of every prime The name to go with ever face Like he was king upon a throne And we had nothing in common Nothing in common My mother was convinced That I failed English out of spite We had nothing in common Nothing in common And thirty some years later I’m still tortured and amazed By how David always got the answers right Now later on, I knew this guy He was in high school I think Had lots of friends and was the pride of the family He’d call me names and punch my head And make me feel like a dink And I would hide from him all day But If I couldn’t find a friend Which happened more than I’d have liked I go where he was and sulk around him He’d say “You don’t know how to throw And just don’t play your stupid songs.” And he’d toss the ball my way We had nothing in common Nothing in common I thought he was a jerk And who knows what he thought I’d be We had nothing in common Nothing in common But twenty some years later I’m still grateful and surprised By the little gifts that David gave to me I knew this guy before I wed He had a vision in his head Of how his life would play out And his dreams would come true But he was stumbling he was stalled And every year after he called I’d just think ‘man there goes the loneliest guy I ever knew’ And people think I’m failing They never understand That temporary set backs Are part of what I’d planned And David had his vision And David played his game We have nothing much in common But we are more or less the same There was a guy Who met a girl Who had a cat They fell in love Got a home And made a vow He took her hand And they lived happily ever after Happily ever after Here’s to happily ever after Happily ever after |
