Déjà Vu
Urban Cone (Oliver Nelson Remix) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time you, may lose the ones you love
Don't blow it, don't kill your future
Don't fool me, don't fool the one you love
You need to change directions
This time you got the chance to make things right
Don't blow this, don't kill your future
You've been here to many times before
You need to change directions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
We can turn back time with emotions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
Everything is viewed in slow motion
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
We can turn back time with emotions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
Everything is viewed in slow motion
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
We can turn back time with emotions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
Everything is viewed in slow motion

This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
We can turn back time with emotions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
Everything is viewed in slow motion
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
We can turn back time with emotions
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
Everything is viewed in slow motion
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú




This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
This may feel like deja vú, deja vú
