LYRIC FOR SALE

By McKinna Williams

(Intro)
(melodic guitar strum)
These déjà vu streaks
Signs from God that I believe
Boy, I wish you were here with me

(Verse 1)
I hate my messy life
Taking meds left and right
Pushed aside my inner fight
Stopped to stare at a lovely sight
An eclipse moon in the night
I look up and smile awhile
Earbuds blasting my idol
Smoky air, familiar style
And it hits me suddenly—
“It’s like you were still here with me.”

(Pre-Chorus)
I’m on a déjà vu streak
All these feelings haunting me
Everywhere I look this week
Something whispers secretly
I can’t escape these—

(Chorus)
STREAKS
Do you ever see the signs?
Feel a gut feeling deep inside?
Like you know what you’re reaching for
Like you’ve known it your whole life before
STREAKS
Reaching into the void tonight
Asking God if this is right
Nothing but silence around you
Nothing but streaks surrounding you

(Verse 2)
Rainbow streak outside my pane
Morning birds all sound the same
Like angels singing in His name
Like fate keeps calling me again
Then I hear that sarcastic
“Good luck” sign in my head
I check the time, close my eyes—
Oh my God, I’m late again
But still I feel it suddenly
Something pulling deep in me

(Chorus)
STREAKS
Do you ever see the signs?
Feel a gut feeling deep inside?
Like you know what you’re reaching for
Like you’ve known it your whole life before
STREAKS
Reaching into the void tonight
Asking God if this is right
Nothing but silence around you
Nothing but streaks surrounding you
(pause)
“BOO! Dumb déjà vu…”

(Bridge)
I’m on the bus
Heartbeat tugging hard at me
Close my eyes and suddenly
He’s smiling on the train at me
Golden streak across my face
So sudden
So electric
Everybody’s staring like
“That girl’s lost in another world again.”

(Final Chorus)
This internal streak won’t leave
I know it means something to me
I know what I feel is real
Even if nobody else can see
STREAKS
Everywhere I go tonight
Flashes burning in my mind
Maybe love is hidden in
All these streaks I see inside

(Outro)
I google what it means on ChatGPT
Searching through these streaks
Boy, I’m as lucky as I’ll ever be.
