[Verse 1] I keep a key for every door I made A name for every room I learned to fake One asks for water, one asks for a map One builds a ladder while the other takes it back [Pre-Chorus] I count the hours, lose the count again I feed the little fires with the same two hands [Chorus] Which one stays? Which one gets the morning? I can’t hold every life I keep forming Pick one thread and the whole seam gives way Which one stays? I make another today [Verse 2] There’s a list of things each version needs A rent due here, a promise there to keep I split the bread, I stretch the week too thin Then draw a fresh outline and move myself in [Pre-Chorus] I count the hours, lose the count again I feed the little fires with the same two hands [Chorus] Which one stays? Which one gets the morning? I can’t hold every life I keep forming Pick one thread and the whole seam gives way Which one stays? I make another today [Bridge] If I choose, what part of me goes quiet? If I wait, how many more divide it? I’m tired of the ledger, tired of the names Still I sketch a new door in the margin again [Final Chorus] Which one stays? Which one gets the morning? I can’t hold every life I keep forming Pick one thread, let the rest fall away Which one stays? I make another today [Outro] Another today Another today
