Déjà Vu

(album: Everyone We Know - 2017)

[Jeswon & Tuka:]
Same shit, different day shift
Late night, hit the light switch
I used to feel safe in this blanket
I used to dream bigger than inside of my eyelids
But tonight I'm wide-awake
Waiting for them sheep to count
Wishing I could find a way to break the cycles I've built
'Cause right now I'm freaking out

'Cause it's true, I've been sleeping
I've been sleeping on my dreams for way too long
That's why you hear me saying
Déjà vu
Maybe one day I'll wake up
'Cause I've been waiting on that day to come for way too long
That's why you hear me saying
Déjà vu

[Jeswon:]
I bought a ticket for the lottery
And I got every single number right
But I left it in the pocket of my grotty jeans
That were ruined when I threw them in the tumble dry
So now I'm sitting here staring out a window pane
Satisfied with this fat slice of humble pie
And I ain't really down with this fucking rain but
I'm a stick around for the sunny side
Up at the crack of dawn, home in the dead of night
No time to dedicate, no time to set aside
Instead I get in line, I wish that I had it all
Slave to a dollar sign, pass me the Panadol
I've been on the edge, I've been tripping tripping
Yo, can I get a grip, I've been slipping, slipping
Yo, let me reminisce on this feeling, I'm feeling
Sick of hearing one day, I'm a make a killing but don't

[Jeswon, Tuka & Venessa Caspersz:]

'Cause I've been waiting on that day to come for way too long
That's why you hear me saying
Déjà vu

[Jeswon & Tuka:]
I reminisce so much, déjà vu
I reminisce so much, déjà vu
Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God, déjà vu
I reminisce so much, déjà vu
I reminisce so much, déjà vu
Like Pete Rock and CL Smooth
Ayo, I reminisce over you, my God

[Tuka:]
I got a fire in my belly, you can see it in my eyes
Inspired by the many who could reach for the skies
Or light up the room in the dark with the vibrance of youth
Stay wise to the truth in your heart
An indigo child, spilt from the movement of stars
Soon to depart, only visitors sightsee
All I see is me and my team
Tryna add a dash of future that we scooped from the past
Flying at light speed, I been riding on a pipe dream
And it's got you thinking what one might be
Do you know the difference? Do you know what I mean?
Homie, be chill like ice tea, can you go the distance?
Tai chi, can you flow with me still?
Or are you sickened 'cause my poetry's ill?
Do you remember now we're older thinking back about the road that we built?
Are we over the hill? If it could only be real
