Welcome To The Family

Hello, hello, hello, hello (hello, hello, hello, hello)
It's a motherfucking pleasure
It's a motherfucking pleasure
No pressure
But would you like to blow my mind
And move too fast and plan our perfect lives together?
Holy, holy, holy, holy (holy shit)
You mean to tell me tell me tell
You're tough to love when you don't love yourself, well

Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family

My less exciting features
Are packed inside my body
They're crammed into the balcony
They're jamming up the lobby
They're falling out the window
You can see them crashing through the glass
When I don't keep my lids closed
As the director flicks his wrist
The stage-hand in the wing has got a silver chain he grips
And when he lifts it opens up the velvet curtains of my lips
And I say

Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family

When I look up to wish on my stars
Wonder whether it's even a help
Who the hell do you think that you are?
Tryna make me believe in myself
You're like the sun in the summertime
I know you are but what am I?
I don't really wanna sound like a lullaby
But I think every family is a butterfly
You know, pretty from afar, pretty gross up close
Don't pity what we are, it's mostly unhideous
And I'm sitting at the bar with a beer
So cheers, come toast me

Get cozy since we're both lonely
Why don't we leave and then go see
What we become, when it's done it's done
But I'm not looking below, so don't ghost me
And it's seeming like we're in agreement
That the demon that we're fighting isn't the exact same
But if we're teaming up and carrying the weight together
We can miss a bit of back pain

And if you're into it then we can get up out the city
Get a minute in the fast lane
Get hitched in a chapel in Vegas
Maybe get rich, life is a craps game
And I take my cue, from you
On what you wanna do 'bout a last name
It's not so bad to be a Watsky

Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family

Those fires in your attic that rage without permission
Some days invade your living room or break out in the kitchen
They breeze right through the building
They just show up as they please
And then retreat like grown up children
Well how'd you like to split this 'L' and
Tell me what you've witnessed
If the price of life is hell
Well no one ever had to sell me on how nice a fire smells

Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family

And there's so much I've been silent on
But I'll whisper every secret to you when this mic is gone
And I know you'll listen (listen)
And I know it's different (different)
But it gives me peace our missing pieces could be siblings
The rough nights, ain't leaving
So why the hell should we?
And I say

Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family
Welcome to the family

You deserve love (welcome to the family)
You deserve love (welcome to the family)
You deserve love (welcome to the family)
You deserve love
You deserve love (welcome to the family)
You deserve love (welcome to the family)
You deserve love (welcome to the family)
