Background
«I wanted the bridge to be really high energy ‘cause the rest of the song is serene and eerily calm. But I wanted the bridge to kind of go crazy and I love ‘Cruel Summer’, it’s one of my favorite songs ever. I love the harmonized yells that she does. I feel like they’re super electric and moving. And so I wanted to do something like that.»

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Car rides to Malibu
Strawberry ice cream
One spoon for two
And trading jackets
Laughing ’bout how small it looks on you (Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha)
Watching reruns of Glee
Being annoying
Singing in harmony
I bet she’s bragging to all her friends
Saying you’re so unique
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too?
She thinks it’s special
But it’s all reused
That was our place
I found it first
I made the jokes you tell to her when she’s with you
[Chorus]
Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you?
Do you get déjà vu? (Ah)
Do you get déjà vu?
[Verse 2]
Do you call her,
Almost say my name?
’Cause let’s be honest
We kinda do sound the same
Another actress
I hate to think that I was just your type
And I bet that she knows Billy Joel
’Cause you played her “Uptown Girl”
You’re singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her how you love her
In between the chorus and the verse (I love you)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too?
She thinks it’s special
But it’s all reused
That was the show we talked about
Played you the songs she’s singing now when she’s with you
[Chorus]
Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you?
Do you get déjà vu? (Oh oh)
Do you get déjà vu?
[Bridge]
Strawberry ice cream in Malibu
Don’t act like we didn’t do that shit, too
You’re trading jackets like we used to do (Yeah, everything is all reused)
Play her piano, but she doesn’t know (Oh oh)
That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (Oh)
A different girl now
But there’s nothing new
[Outro]
I know you get déjà vu
I know you get déjà vu
I know you get déjà vu
