[Verse 1]
You were standing by the marble horse
Reading every tiny plaque
I was lost beside the watercolors
Trying not to stare back
You laughed at something I couldn't hear
Still
It stuck inside my head
Two strangers in the quiet air
Names we never said
[Chorus]
We were gallery ghosts
Passing frames and never knowing
Twenty years
Four kids
And a love that just keeps growing
Did we walk right by
And feel that little shiver then?
We were gallery ghosts
Til the internet brought us back again
[Verse 2]
You wrote
"Do I know you from somewhere?"
On a message in the dark
A grainy photo
Crooked smile
And it hit me like a spark
That jacket
That day in the west wing
Rain drying on your sleeves
You said you saw me in reflections
And wished that I would leave... with you
[Chorus]
We were gallery ghosts
Passing frames and never knowing
Twenty years
Four kids
And a love that just keeps growing
Did we walk right by
And feel that little shiver then?
We were gallery ghosts
Til the internet brought us back again
[Bridge]
Now the fridge is lined with drawings
Crayon suns and purple trees (oh)
Museum maps still in a shoebox
Proof of all our missing scenes
I would circle every lifetime
Just to bump your shoulder once
Every hallway
Every doorway
Leads me back to us
[Chorus]
We were gallery ghosts
Now we're laughing in the kitchen light
Twenty years
Four kids
And your hair still looks like that night
If we walked right by
I'd still find my way to you again
We were gallery ghosts
Now we're hanging in the same frame
Amen
