Familiar

Familiar, why is it 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 know Familiar, did she use to throw a tantrum? Insisting "but 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 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 errors of their ways And stop their spread of terror around space
