There is a second staircase
Leading from a chamber of my heart
Concealed behind a bookcase
Leading up into the dark
And the second staircase
Is tearing the house apart
There's a secret number
Written on a ticket in a drawer
I don't know if I love her
But I've been crazy since I saw her
There is a second staircase
Only I know what it's for
It is burning through my mind
I don't wanna leave this all behind
I built it all up from the ground
Why would I tear the old place down?
So I blocked the second staircase
Behind some old junk we never use
I threw the ticket in the fireplace
Forgot everything I knew
'Cause beyond the second staircase
Is life without you
I can't take the second staircase
It's all too much to lose
