Silence in the hallway, keys too loud in my hand Every step comes back at me like it doesn't understand Four floors down and nobody's waiting Cold air on my face is the first thing I can stand Wet street wearing borrowed light Past a line of strangers, no one asks me why I can feel it through the pavement, low and steady Something underneath is knocking, something still alive There's a door, there's a pulse behind it I don't feel better, I just go It hits me in the chest and I come undone There's a heat I didn't know was in my lungs If the first one's gone, I'll build a second sun Second sun, second sun Strangers' shoulders, sweat and thunder Bass inside my breastbone telling me I'm here Half of me is missing and I know which half I say it once, out loud: it's gone And I stay Second sun! If the first one's gone, I'll build a second sun It hits me in the chest and I come undone If the first one's gone, I'll build a second sun
