[Verse]
A picture frame but no faces inside
I’ve traced the lines a thousand times
An empty chair where stories should hide
[Chorus]
Sad I never met them
Don’t know their names
Don’t know their hands
Sad I never met them
Were they the roots or just the sand
[Verse 2]
I hear whispers in the night but they’re mine
Shadows don’t speak they just stay in line
I built a family out of borrowed time
[Prechorus]
Did they laugh
Did they cry
Did they ever say goodbye
[Chorus]
Sad I never met them
Don’t know their names
Don’t know their hands
Sad I never met them
Were they the roots or just the sand
[Bridge]
Was there a song they used to hum
A tune they passed to where I’m from
I’m a note without a chord
A key without a door
