Second Staircase lyrics - Del Amitri

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

I don't wanna leave this 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
