So Familiar

Music & Lyrics by Tahiti Rey

Music by Jeremiah Gruenberg

“And so she laughed… the laughter of a soul recognizing itself.”

Lyrics

Verse 1

He smelled like homemade cookies

Never cared about his hair

Always fidgeting in his chair

Wore his shirts up off the ground

Never looked in the mirror

But always saw things a bit clearer

Pre-Chorus

A different face, a different name

But you’re all the same

Chorus

It’s so familiar the way I see you in every way they move

It’s so familiar feels like I’m having a little de ja vu

From my first love, to my last love

They’re all a little bit like you

Verse 2

He liked his off-beat music

Never walked a straight line

Always loosing track of his time

He never paid attention unless sitting still in silence

Never noticing my kindness

Pre-Chorus

A different face, a different name

But you’re all the same

Chorus

Bridge

You never made any sacrifice, you made me cry

You always made me promises, you never tried

Oh it’s so familiar

Verse 3

He loved me in the evenings

Never kissed to say goodbye

Always left me asking why

He wouldn’t let me love me

Never needed company

But always had all of my loyalty

Chorus

They’re all a little bit like you
