[Intro]
Soft bells flicker in the morning light
A kettle hums like a distant choir
I blink, and the hallway wears a familiar sigh
As if yesterday forgot to retire
[Verse 1]
I meet my shoes at the door, already worn with my thoughts
The clock spins a scene I’ve watched a hundred times before
Different colors, same old road, the town breathing slow
déjà vu footprints leading to an unopened door
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this moment mine or borrowed from a dream?
The air tastes like rain I’ve tasted in sleep
[Chorus]
Déjà vu, you slip through the seams of time
A whisper in the pulse of the ordinary, sublime
Memory and reality dance in a narrow seam
Déjà vu, you wake me to what I’ve not yet seen
[Verse 2]
I reach for a memory that wants to stay still
A streetlight flickers, painting shadows with a familiar thrill
A song on the radio hums of places I’ve never been
Yet every note feels like a memory wearing a grin
[Pre-Chorus]
If I close my eyes, the room replays its line
I’m walking through a dream I’ve sworn was mine
[Chorus]
Déjà vu, you slip through the seams of time
A whisper in the pulse of the ordinary, sublime
Memory and reality dance in a narrow seam
Déjà vu, you wake me to what I’ve not yet seen
[Bridge]
Maybe the world is a memory we forgot to finish
Maybe the future hums a chorus from the past
I’m listening for the echo that never truly vanishes
Believing every moment might be the last and the last
[Chorus]
Déjà vu, you slip through the seams of time
A whisper in the pulse of the ordinary, sublime
Memory and reality dance in a narrow seam
Déjà vu, you wake me to what I’ve not yet seen
[Outro]
When the kettle sighs, I smile at the familiar new
If waking is dreaming, I’m already awake with you
