Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Interesting Facts ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own damn game

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you, from you

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life

And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life

So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh

You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take

Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life





And I'm just a dead man walking tonight

Recollect the promises you made to me that you will love me forever


Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
I gave everything to you as I thought we belonged to each other


Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
You used to address me affectionately, but now you refer to me formally


Takes one to know one, yeah
The way you treat me is probably because you have experienced it yourself

Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Our dialogues conclude as though it's the final farewell


Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
Either of us drinks excessively and makes numerous phone calls to the other


So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
I wonder who you've been talking to, but nobody could fill the void I left behind


When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
I hope that even when you're with other people, my memory remains vivid in your mind


You're running around and I'm running away Running away from you, from you
You're busy chasing things and people, and I'm evading you

FUCK..... I'M SORRY, BUT IT CAN'T BE OTHERWISE. MY WAY. THE SONG IS AND WILL BE A LEGEND AND THOSE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY APPARENTLY HAVE NOT LISTENED ENOUGH AND DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO IT....
4 ME IMMORAL 😍🤩🤩😍🤩😘😘

Ps: In my opinion, the song is perfect for people who know that there is no such thing as age or time💪🤳💪

Unfortunately, no one can stop time, so I'm pissed with tears, more tears.
Most would like to live forever, but that's not how it works, unfortunately... or maybe fortunately, hmmm.


Generally, I know that you have it in 4 letters, but it's sad nooooo....

It's amazing that a song can have such a significant impact on 2-3 people. Too much thought, too little time ;(

It’s funny how day by day nothing changes
but when you look back everything is different
