[Verse 1]
I just seen my shadow for the first time in weeks
When it's dark it's fast asleep
I turned on the lights to write this song for you
In hopes of finding peace

[Chorus]
You're with a dead man walking, and you called him your best friend
Changing your cadence in the morning, stiff and the head down
And girl I know there's, there's a certain stillness in your motion
A rigormortis, I smell the regret in your aroma, I should have noticed

[Verse 2]
Can you tell me when, and was it worth your time?
Is his chain swingin' 'bove you, did his eyes remind you of mine?

[Chorus]
You're with a dead man walking, and you called him your best friend
Changing your cadence in the morning, stiff and the head down, oh
And I know there, there's a certain stillness in your motion
A rigormortis, I smell the regret in your aroma, I should have noticed
