Lyrics

Dead Man (Acoustic)

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

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

If you really care
Then why am I feelin' you just
Slippin' through my hands?
If you're really there
Then why can I walk right through you?
Talkin' to a dead man

I got no excuse for thinkin' I could fix you (ah)
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

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

If you really care
Why am I feelin' you just
Slippin' through my hands?
If you're really there
Why can I walk right through you?
Talkin' to a dead man

Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, 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

(Talkin' to a dead man)
I'm talkin', I'm talkin'
Ah, oh yeah, yeah
(Talkin' to a dead man)
I'm talkin', I'm talkin'
Yeah

If you really care
Why am I feelin' you just
Slippin' through my hands?
If you're really there
Why can I walk right through you?
Talkin' to a dead man

Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da, 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
