Deja Vu (Happy Birthday, Boss, Asbury Park 2019)

Maybe Madame Marie knows what it means When all of a sudden you change your routine Tell me, baby, should I get Vaseline Cos from where I’m sitttin’ That’s how it seems Maybe history won’t repeat itself this time Though I’ve noticed it always seems to rhyme Hope I see it coming, it don’t catch me blind Unlike the Coast line this train always runs on time! Feels like déjà vu will get the best of me When I see what could pass it’s not your face I see It’s so hard not to hold you in my history Cos I feel déjà vu is comin’ for me You know my story-know where I’ve been My internal alarms always causing a din Shouldn’t be too surprised if your patience is thin The places I’m broken may be too hard to mend Round and around my mind can’t stop Waiting for Damocles’ sword to drop Expecting our shiny balloon to pop What can I even do to make this carousel Ever stop The road ahead looks like the road behind I beg your indulgence for my troubled mind Guess I lost my innocence on Highway nine Don’t know who to trust - it’s my flawed design This ain’t the place I want to be You aren’t the one that’s broken me But it’s so hard not to hold you in his history When I feel déjà vu is coming for me Feels like déjà vu will get the best of me When I see what could pass it’s not your face I see It’s so hard not to hold you in my history Cos I feel déjà vu is comin’ for me Like a crumpled up picture in my old blue jeans That shows me the things that I’ve previously seen I already know what your behavior means Cos déjà vu always comes back —for me Yeah déjà vu always comes back For me Yeah I know déjà vu is comin’ back — for —meeee
