Oh whoa wah wuh wuh
Oh whoa whoa wuh
Oh whoa wah wuh wuh
Seems like we've been here before
Your eyes are seeing straight right through my core
It's kinda strange, but I like it
Might be Déjà vu
First time we met, but I remembered you
We were creepin' in the night time
Maybe in another lifetime
Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel right now
Ooh, it's written all over you
Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel somehow
Ooh, I keep findin' my way back to you
You can go anywhere, babe, wherever you want
Because I know we're written in the stars
You can go any which way, don't matter how far
Because I know we're written in the stars
No question that we're written in the stars
Ooh
Ooh, yeah
The moment you looked at me
I started losing feeling in my cheeks
Felt myself moving towards ya'
I just wanted to get closer, oh!
When you say hello
I know there is no limit where we'll go
I want you to be ready
I'll hold your heart if you'll let me, oh!
Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel right now
Ooh, it's written all over you
Don't tell me you don't feel what I feel somehow
Ooh, I keep findin' my way back to you
You can go anywhere, babe, wherever you want (I want)
Because I know we're written in the stars
You can go any which way don't matter how far
Because I know we're written in the stars (Uh hey!)
No question that we're written in the stars
And I promise every day (I promise every day)
To make you feel this way (to make you feel this way)
So that you know it's written in the stars
Oh whoa whoa wuh (Dalada dala dala)
Oh whoa wah wuh wuh (Lalala dala dala)
know we're written in the stars
Oh whoa wuh wuh
Oh, we're written in the stars
