The Familiar

There's something familiar About playing an old song Even in the dead of winter The words roll off my tongue I've been replaced It seems I've been replaced In your dreams There's something familiar About breaking the old rules And though it's getting clearer You have to fight the old school I've been replaced By some familiarity I've been replaced And it's bewildered me What does it mean to be safe Is it comfort or grace When police with their guns How they do soldier on When you feel you've replaced All bad thoughts from your face Living free from harm In some comfortable arms There's something familiar All the pieces rearranged Even staring in the mirror I can tell something has changed I've been replaced By someone one step ahead I've been replaced By someone who's right in their head What does it mean to be safe Is it comfort or grace When police with their guns How they do soldier on When you feel you've replaced All bad thoughts from your face Living free from harm In some comfortable arms And when the morning comes And you still wake up tired A familiar song on the radio And I hope you feel inspired I hope you know it'll be okay Until the wee hours of the night I hope you know it'll be okay To leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind I know, I know, you've tried To leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind I know, I know, you've tried To leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind I know, I know, you've tried To leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind Leave the familiar behind I know, I know, you've tried To leave the familiar behind
