Lyrics
[Verse 1] See your body into the moonlight Even if I try to cancel All the pictures into the mind There's flashing in my eyes

[Pre-Chorus] Don't you see my, condition? The fiction, is gonna run it again Can't you see now, illusions? Right into your mind

[Chorus] Deja Vu, I've just been in this place before Higher on the street, and I know it's my time to go Calling you, and the search is a mystery Standing on my feet, it's so hard when I try to be me Woah! Deja Vu, I've just been in this time before Higher on the beat, and I know it's a place to go Calling you, and the search is a mystery Standing on my feet, it's so hard when I try to be me Yeah!

[Verse 2] See the future into the present See my past lives in the distance Try to guess now what's going on And the band begins to play
