[Verse 1] I keep a key for every door I made One name for Monday, one that never sleeps I stitch the hours with a borrowed thread Then lose the count of what I meant to keep [Pre-Chorus] The ledger bends, the pages multiply I spend my last good match on one more try [Chorus] Which one gets to stay? I can't make the tally hold I build another anyway While the old ones lose their names Which one gets to stay? Every hand is mine to fold I keep making room for one more life With nothing left to pay [Verse 2] One has a paycheck, one can tell the truth One knows the route back home without a map I feed them scraps of every afternoon Then watch them ask for more than I can pack [Pre-Chorus] The ledger bends, the pages multiply I spend my last good match on one more try [Chorus] Which one gets to stay? I can't make the tally hold I build another anyway While the old ones lose their names Which one gets to stay? Every hand is mine to fold I keep making room for one more life With nothing left to pay [Bridge] If I choose, do I betray the rest? If I wait, do I run out of breath? I draw a line, then cross it in the night A fresh blank page, a fresh familiar fight [Final Chorus] Which one gets to stay? I can't make the tally hold I build another anyway While the old ones lose their names Which one gets to stay? Every hand is mine to fold I keep making room for one more life With nothing left to pay [Outro] One more life One more life I keep making room
