Dead Man Walking Songtext
von Oscar Stembridge

Already called out your name until my mouth went dry
No parachute on my back, free-falling out of the sky
So typical
A body′s all I ever was
Already ran out of breath, my skin is already cold
I guess I made my own bed, but I woke up on the floor

Even though I know, even though I know
It's useless to hold on

I wonder how, I wonder how it could′ve been
If you were mine, I was the one you wanted
Yeah, I wonder how, I wonder how it could've been
All this time, I've been a dead man walking


You put a drink in my hand, my first glimpse of your eyes
Baggy jeans and dark hair, born December 29
In just one night
I started dying from these butterflies
If this was ever a game, I was supposed to be losing
Got an empty face, but I lost count of the bruises

Even though I know, even though I know
It′s useless to hold on

I wonder how, I wonder how it could′ve been
If you were mine, I was the one you wanted
Yeah, I wonder how, I wonder how it could've been
All this time, I′ve been a dead man walking
Now it's been a while, I wonder who you sleep with
I stay alive, but baby, this ain′t living
Yeah, I wonder how, I wonder how it could've been
All this time, I′ve been a dead man walking

I wonder how, I wonder how it could've been
If you were mine, I was the one you wanted
Yeah, I wonder how, I wonder how it could've been
All this time, I′ve been a dead man walking
