Nowhere to move
In the same scene, same routine every day
I had no clue

every road i’m running through

got me chasing after you
Déjà vu in my head
Every road I’m running through
You changed my view
Got me chasing after you
chasing after you
how can i breathe the same after you
oh i’d swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you
i’ll never be the same after you
The lyrics capture the overwhelming moment when meeting someone suddenly transforms an ordinary life into something vivid and impossible to escape. The narrator is left sleepless and breathless, drawn toward the other person with a force that feels both exhilarating and uncontrollable. Awkward first words, exchanged glances, and sparks of attraction reveal a love still taking shape, while memories of a darker, repetitive past make the change feel even more profound. Once this person enters their world, every road seems to lead toward them, leaving the narrator completely changed, irresistibly drawn closer, and unable to imagine returning to life as it was before.
