Second Staircase

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 Don’t wanna leave it 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 Cos beyond the second staircase Is life without you I can’t take the second staircase It’s all too much to lose. --- Second Staircase - Del Amitri
