Verse 1

Everyone I talk to says that life’s a chore
And every day is boring just like the one before
But I guess I have a special gift, a sense that comes and goes
I can see the future is a story that no one knows
It’s truly mysterious when I feel it washing over me
But I’ve finally found a word to fit such unfamiliarity

Chorus 1

It’s Véjà du
And it’s happening more and more
It’s Véjà du
Feels like I’ve never done this before
It’s Véjà du. Who are you?
I’m sure we’ve never met
So have a seat, we’ll have a drink
Life’s as good as it can get

Verse 2

No one seems to notice they’re stuck in a routine
Trying not to rock the boat and keep their records clean
But I’ve got a premonition I admit it’s very strange
A supernatural insight into unavoidable change
Phenomena like this surpass our cognitive agility
So we need a term to help describe such unpredictability

Chorus 2

It’s Véjà du, and it’s happening once again
It’s Véjà du, and it’s more than chemicals in my brain
It’s Véjà du and it’s true, no matter what you believe
So settle back, have another drink
As we toast to Joie de vivre

Bridge

Maybe I had a dream in which
None of this took place
Or maybe I met a girl just like you
But with a different face
Or maybe I’m really psychic
In a backwards sort of way
‘Cuz the only thing I’m sure of
Is I don’t know what you’re about to say

Chorus 3

It’s Véjà du, and it knocks me to the floor
It’s Véjà du, I’m sure I’ve never been here before
It’s Véjà du and it’s new, but it messes with your head
So just relax, stay a while
There’s so much we haven’t said

Coda

The world is always changing
As experience has shown
So buckle up and enjoy the ride
Embracing the unknown

Verse 1

Eyes meet across the room
Don’t dare assume they understand
Blushing, with a hint of fear
Draws him near and he extends his hand

Chorus

He makes her feel beautiful
And she makes him feel strong
They’ve found each other and they’re not letting go
They know this is where they belong
Her smile shatters the air he breathes
His voice charms and enchants
Together they twirl as the symphony sings
They’re lost in a wonderful dance

Verse 2

Graceful but a bit naive
So hard to believe they’ve barely met
Floating, no choreography
Truly free no steps to forget

Lyrics

Well we’re riding down to Chini Town
And they’re chopping all the greenery down
Back in Bubugao they’re wasting time
Straight from the dorms, standing in line

Well we used to always shop at that store
But we found we spent a little bit more
So we rode down to the market square
Asked for some fruit, prices were fair

And we’re living near to Chini Town
But it takes some time for us to go down
Still it’s getting hard to stay away

We’ll were shopping here in Chini Town
For the peanut butter we never found
For the fireworks and toys we crave
Pirated software
Stuff we can save

So they built a lane-dividing wall
But it never really helped us at all
No the traffic laws have never been real
Tractors and cars drive how they feel

And we’re waiting here in Chini Town
For the Huadu bus that’s s’posed to come round
But I think it just pulled away

Every teacher had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as tricycles got
If something happened on the way to that place
They threw a fit and everybody lost face

Well I’m living here in Chini Town
And it’s hard when all your water’s brown
So I won’t be washing clothes today

Lyrics and Chords

Verse 1

Every year when Christmas rolls around
Peace on earth, goodwill toward all, and happiness abound
But the rest of the year is void of cheer
Everyone’s waiting ’til Santa gets here
And I was the same, myself to blame
But then I met you and boom, everything changed

Chorus

And I need not find a special star to guide me where to go
‘Cause peace on earth is where you are and won’t melt with the snow
And the gifts you bring are better than gold they can’t be taken away
Life with you is Christmas every day

Verse 2

That red-nosed reindeer’s in such high demand
Tinsel, wassail, boughs of holly are all fine and grand
But they can’t replace your warm embrace
I see an angel when I look at your face
So let it snow and let yourself go
Baby don’t make me wait for the mistletoe

Bridge

Christmas has the power to inspire
Warming hearts and homes just like a fire
You’ve brought joy to the world and to me
And your eyes are shining brighter than all the lights up on the tree

Chorus 3

And I need not find a special star to guide me where to go
‘Cause peace on earth is where you are and won’t melt with the snow
And the gifts you bring are better than gold, no one can take this away
Life with you is Christmas every day
