Conversations with Dead People Lyrics

When I see you sitting in the restaurant
Counting complex carbohydrates
I will wonder where it was I knew you from
And I will give you my regards
When you turn to go
And in these final parting phrases
I will overanalyze the way your eyes move slower than before

Winter morning in the parking lot of my apartment complex
I will be the first to force eye contact
In this dashing, darting deer-in-the-headlight looks
Are growing tired

From time to time when I am feeling trembled
I will unfold all these letters from old friends and lovers
From the of the long ago of penmanship and perfect strokes
And even though I say these notes
I won’t pretend I know any more, any more

Held in hallways
Cutting corridor doors
We will speak these warm words
Half empty, half full

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Danielle Anderson is born naiively enlightened. That is to say, she is gifted but would be the last person to say so (she is culeless as to how brilliant we know she is). That is because she is grounded and therfore has no need for adulation. She sings, says, plays, performs life as it is. If she is reading this, right now, her face is red from embarrassment. Articulate and expressionate, a true talent. In my humble opiinion. Danielle, may you realise your globsl potential. Sincerely,

Loving kindness from Zenophile, aka Xenophile..
