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
