Somewhere Along the Line Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
