Tad

[Verse]
Tad was a shadow on the edge of a page
A name in a book that I’d never engage
He wore the sky like a wrinkled suit
And talked in riddles that never took root

[Prechorus]
He’s a whisper
A blur
A line gone astray
A spark that fades by the break of day

[Chorus]
Oh Tad
Who are you trying to be
A flicker
A phantom
A mystery
Oh Tad
Are you real or pretend
A question that circles and never will end

[Verse 2]
He danced like the wind but tripped on the sand
Left his thoughts like footprints that slipped from his hand
Tad’s laugh was a melody out of tune
A song for the stars that hid from the moon

[Chorus]
Oh Tad
Who are you trying to be
A flicker
A phantom
A mystery
Oh Tad
Are you real or pretend
A question that circles and never will end

[Bridge]
Tad is a puzzle with pieces gone missing
A word on your tongue that vanishes mid-sentence
He’s the echo of things you never quite said
A dream you remember just as you wake in bed
