Familiar

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
