You Feel Familiar in the Wrong Way

Something in you Feels like somewhere I should not go back to You don’t remind me of anyone Not exactly It’s smaller than that A pause before you answer The way your eyes go still When I ask too much I know this feeling Before I know your name That should have been enough My body heard it Before my mind did That little warning Under the skin You feel familiar In the wrong way Like a room I left But still know in the dark You feel familiar In the wrong way Like something I survived Wearing a different face And still I move closer Still I stay You feel familiar In the wrong way You don’t raise your voice You don’t have to You make silence feel Like something I should fix You give a little Then disappear inside yourself And I catch myself Trying to earn the rest There it is again That old reflex Dressed up as chemistry My body heard it Before my mind did That little warning Under the skin You feel familiar In the wrong way Like a room I left But still know in the dark You feel familiar In the wrong way Like something I survived Wearing a different face And still I move closer Still I stay You feel familiar In the wrong way Maybe attraction Isn’t always a sign Maybe sometimes It’s recognition Maybe the heart Doesn’t know the difference Between home And history You feel familiar In the wrong way And now I know Why I knew you so fast You feel familiar In the wrong way Like the past Trying on another body This time I hear it This time I wait You feel familiar In the wrong way And I know What that means Familiar Wrong way Familiar
