High up in a tree she's the one I wanna pick

Stepping on the ladder but the rungs are so slick

Afraid to make a move, wanna run like a kid from the bees

So I won't get stung by commitment

Like being open and honest

And being ready to listen

And being stable enough so I could be her prescription

For those empty bottle nights, yeah that's more than just a quick fix

Can my presence be healing when I relish this sick feeling in my gut

That it's never enough

That she's calling my bluff

When I'm acting all tough

Yeah she's trapped in my maze

I don't know who to blame

They all treated me the same, such a shame I hide my heart so well

Don't know if she can tell

My pride is like a shell

If I show her the real me she'll be one of the few

I grew up overthinking what I felt

But now I think her beauty took me out of the spell

Can I start brand new after all that I've been through

I'm feeling like it's deja vu

And I don't know what to do, try to play it off cool

Cause I'm not trying to leave her bruised

Yeah the last time I fell I couldn't catch myself

When I lost my direction yeah I walked through hell

Maybe she can undo what I thought was true

Wake me up from the deja vu

Woah didn't think it'd lead to this

One minute we were playing and the next we're serious

I'm grateful that she's mine, yeah she brightens up my life

With those eyes that can pierce through the shades that I like to hide behind

Yeah I try to come across as mysterious

So she can call me Christie cause I'm keeping her curious

Don't give it all away until I'm feeling delirious

Cause it's two in the morning and I know from experience

That my guard comes down when I'm not so careful

Accidentally get sentimental

Felt safe with a snake cause I thought it was my pet

But after getting bit honesty was a regret

Now my heart's infected by the poison in my veins

And my hands start shaking like I'm being led astray

So my heels hit the ground to run the other way

But there's a voice in my head saying maybe I should stay

Can I start brand new after all that I've been through

I'm feeling like it's deja vu

And I don't know what to do, try to play it off cool

Cause I'm not trying to leave her bruised

Yeah the last time I fell I couldn't catch myself

When I lost my direction yeah I walked through hell

Maybe she can undo what I thought was true

Wake me up from the deja vu
