Lyrics

Reunification
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
Admitting my own errors
As a habitual ritual habit is hard
To let down my guard and do my part
Without ever getting scarred or scared
So I came prepared
For any outcome or possibility
Taking responsibility
For my own actions
It's so hard of hearing critique
Blows to my ego when corrected on technique
So shhhhh
Don't speak unless you've got something to say
Cuz I have to go justify my existence
Each and every single day
Living that familiar familial way
That familiar familial way
Oh say can you see
What we all could be
We could finally be free
If we lived like family
Re-re-reunion
Bring it on home
Bring your trouble
Leave your throne
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
King of the kitchen, big opinions, bad reception
My advice was legislation; your advice was insurrection
Had a pardon for my temper, held a trial for your objections
Said, "This house is a democracy"—with me the sole exception
Bought a bot to call me brilliant, had it running all night long
Canceled my subscription when it said, "You might be wrong"
I'd storm the Empire's palace, make the Emperor resign
Then come home, lose my shit because you moved a cup of mine
You said, "Can you let me finish?"—I was halfway through "But wait"
Stopped defending my intentions; heard the hurt I'd helped create
Put my phone down on the table, let your sentence reach its end
You don't need a closing statement when you're trying to be a friend
Now the crown's a fruit bowl; told the guards to take a seat
Got another place to set, got another mouth to feed
You can keep the parts of you that I ain't figured out just yet
Ain't a family if agreement is the price of breaking bread
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
So shhhhh
Oh say can you see
What we all could be
We could finally be free
If we lived like family
Oh say can you see
What we all could be
We could finally be free
If we lived like family
Re-re-reunion
Bring it on home
Bring your trouble
Leave your throne
Pull a chair up
Put your crown down
Re-re-reunion
Come on round
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
You ain't gotta be like me
To be family
Living that familiar familial way
That familiar familial way
You ain't gotta be like me
