Splitting at the Seam

V6

[Verse 1] I keep a key for every door Each one opens to a different name I practice all the ways I’m fine Then lose the thread between the frames [Pre-Chorus] The shelves are leaning under all these plans I’m out of hands, I’m out of hands [Chorus] Which one gets to breathe? Which one do I keep? I’m splitting at the seam While I’m making one more me Which one gets the years? Which one gets the room? I can’t choose who disappears When I’m building someone new [Verse 2] One life keeps the promises I made One wants to run before the morning call One keeps a little cash for leaving town One’s drawing another doorway on the wall [Pre-Chorus] The tally grows; the margin disappears I’m out of hands, I’m out of years [Chorus] Which one gets to breathe? Which one do I keep? I’m splitting at the seam While I’m making one more me Which one gets the years? Which one gets the room? I can’t choose who disappears When I’m building someone new [Bridge] If I save the one who knows my face Do I leave the truest one behind? Every answer asks for another place Every place becomes another life [Final Chorus] Which one gets to breathe? Which one do I keep? I’m splitting at the seam While I’m making one more me Which one gets the years? Which one gets the room? I can’t choose who disappears When I’m building someone new [Outro] One more name, one more door One more life I can’t afford
