[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
[Instrumental Break]
[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

The song is about a relationship that has come to an end and is like the last final grasp of trying to hold onto what is left of this relationship. Basically, looking at the other person and metaphorically shaking them and saying ‘I am really trying my best to hold here, but if you don’t want to be...
