"Dead Man (Acoustic)" 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
Coming up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that

If you really care
Then why am I feeling you
Just slipping through my hands?
If you're really there
Then why can I walk right through you
Talking to a dead man?

I got no excuse for thinking I could fix you
You leave me hanging 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
Coming up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that

If you really care
Then why am I feeling you
Just slipping through my hands?
If you're really there
Why can I walk right through you
Talking to a dead man?

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ta-ta-talking to a dead man

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ta-ta-talking to a dead man

Talking
I'm talking, talking
Talking
Talking
I'm talking
Talking

If you really care
Then why am I feeling you
Just slipping through my hands?
If you're really there
Why can I walk right through you
Talking to a dead man?

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ta-ta-talking to a dead man

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ta-ta-talking to a dead man
