Dead Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thought you said you were in love, so why the sad face?
I don’t ask for much, just that you meet me halfway
Faith is not enough to float above a bad wave
We’re gonna drown, we’re going down
And you’re letting this fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Thank your lucky stars I’m creative
All the precious life I wasted
Comin’ up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that
[Chorus]
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through you?
Talkin’ to a dead man
[Verse 2]
I got no excuse for thinkin’ I could fix you
You leave me hangin’ just ’cause you don’t get the picture
No matter how nice I paint it (Don’t change)
No matter the way I frame it (You’re too late)
There’s no easy way to say it
You’re about to lose me now
[Pre-Chorus]
Thank your lucky stars I’m creative
All the precious life I wasted
Comin’ up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that
[Chorus]
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through you?
Talkin’ to a dead man
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
[Chorus]
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through ya?
Talkin’ to a dead man
[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
