Gas Pump Déjà Vu

I saw you across the gas station
A toppling establishment halfway to my unknown destination
Nothing but miles of road as far as I could see
Trusting the faded white line to take me somewhere I could be free

I caught your eyes over the top of my car
And I could tell we'd both come from many miles far
I had never seen you before
A perfect stranger’s face I couldn't help but adore

I choked on the air’s thick gasoline coat
Or maybe that was my heart caught in my throat
For so long I’d been running away
But once I saw your smile, I no longer felt like a stray

Tank filled up, it was time for me to go
This undeniable connection to a stranger was irrational I know
But the reverse sort of déjà vu tearing through my heart
Convinced me that one day in my life you'd play a monumental part
