Déjà vu on a Monday morning
Staring into eyes that I’ve been mourning
Tryin’ to remember exactly what was said
That brought me into this nostalgic state
I try to grab the reigns of reality
To settle the nerves, calm my own heart’s beat
To pacify emotions that I thought were gone
But it seems that heartache’s never gone for long.
Chorus:
It’s a blast from the past that shook my foundation
Ancient history that unsettled my soul
Although I try to deny there’s still anticipation
That you’ll return to fill this gaping hole
Memories buried ‘neath the thoughts of sorrow
Strangely clear as I attempt to forget
For the longest time I tried to focus on tomorrow
But the ghosts of the past will not be beset
Denial once was a friend of mine
But she left me in the dust of the tendrils of time
Forced to face what I so long could not
A sacrificial victim to my own heart’s plot
I’ve been betrayed by my body, stripped of my lies
My secrets laid bare by my deceitful eyes
Completely surrendered to one vicious fact
No matter what I said... I want you back
Chorus:
It’s a blast from the past that shook my foundation
Ancient history that unsettled my soul
Although I try to deny there’s still anticipation
That you’ll return to fill this gaping hole
Memories buried ‘neath the thoughts of sorrow
Strangely clear as I attempt to forget
For the longest time I tried to focus on tomorrow
But the ghosts of the past will not be beset
