Bayjà Vu

[Verse 1 – Dream]
Long ago I dreamed this bay
Summer light, small boat beneath our hands
You were there, close, laughing
The world shrank to water and warmth
Every splash, every turn
Carried the quiet certainty
Of someone who knew me
Like I knew them

[Pre-Chorus – Dream]
Some places keep a memory
Even after it fades

[Chorus – Dream]
I remember heat on our skin
The way daylight danced across the waves
The bay cradled us, a secret room
Where nothing else existed

[Verse 2 – Reality / Gothic Déjà Vu]
Now the bay is cold, almost silent
Sparse snow drifts in muted light
Water like glass, dark beneath the sky
Trees stand like watchful sentinels
Air sharp, almost spectral
I almost can’t believe my eyes
The shoreline, the curve, the mirrored water—
It’s the place from my dream
Déjà vu beneath winter’s hush

[Pre-Chorus – Reality]
Some truths lie hidden in frost
Some wait until the world grows still

[Chorus – Contrast / Gothic]
I remember summer, warmth, your hand
Now ice bites through my coat
Bay keeps the old curve, mirrored water
But we are strangers in its shadow
Dreams never die; they linger
Like ghosts beneath iron skies

[Guitar Solo – Haunting Interlude]

[Bridge – Reflection]
Maybe the bay holds both worlds alive
Our small craft drifting, sunlight and snow
Maybe it keeps magic and memory
Waiting for someone to notice
We never imagined the past
But it imagined us

[Outro – Haunting Juxtaposition]
Summer heat and winter gray
Laughter and silence, side by side
You only exist in dreams now
Bay lingers, patient, eternal
