Lyrics:

When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places
That you know you've never seen before
Can you be sure?

Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja-vu

Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before

Ever had a conversation
That you realise you've had before
Isn't strange
Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what's coming next
It feels pre-arranged

Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is surreal
And you know when you feel deja-vu

Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
