Familiar

Why is this so familiar?

Familiar

Like something I used to know

Familiar

Staring up at the ceiling

Familiar

I swear that I know this feeling

Where everybody wants me to be mom

And everything I do I do it wrong

I sway them with a joke or with a song

And maybe that'll help us get along

Familiar

Why is this so familiar?

Familiar

Like something I used to do

Familiar

She used to throw a tantrum

Insisting that hey, I'm a diamond too

I bet she drove them crazy all the time

They love her but they're leaving her behind

With more important places they should be

Than hanging out with someone just like me

Familiar

That's why it's so familiar

Familiar

Like someone I used to be

Familiar

But this time I've had some practice

At helping a struggling family

Oh, I'll get them all together in one place

And once we're all together face to face

I'll show them all the error of their ways

And stop their spread of terror across space
