You're Familiar




You're familiar... 
I know the fading of your laughter 
Before you can begin to speak again
I know the way you suppress your cough 
When you have smoked too much
I know the slur in your voice 
When you're in need of sleep but you really want us to keep talking 

You're familiar... 
On how reliable you are 
You know when to leave me alone 
And when to come running back 
If I'm a superhero and my job is to save the world
I can count on you to just let me be human at the end of the day 

You're familiar... 
In ways where I don't have to second guess 
I can act all crazy knowing it will drive you nuts 
But it will never make you question your decision 
To be with me... 
You'll call my bluff but won't hold it against me 
You'll let me vent but you know I don't need saving 

You're familiar...
Like a mould I fit perfectly in 
When our bodies collide 
I feel our heartbeats sync 
And our breaths become one 

You're familiar... 
You're that familiar to me 
And how it hurts when you tell me 
That I do not know you.
