lyrics

(two lives, two lives)

Lecture hall at nine, I've had four hours' sleep
Second row, good notes, the professor knows my name
By midnight I'm a different set of vowels
And nobody in either room knows both

Two lives, two lives (two lives)
And I am honest in them both
That's the part nobody believes
Two lives

Two lives, two lives, two lives, two lives
Neither one's a lie and neither one's a lie
Two lives, two lives, two lives, two lives
Ask me which is real and I'll ask you why

Sophia thinks I'm reckless, Nova thinks I'm smart
They're both right and they've never said it to my face
They tell each other, then they tell each other's friends
And it gets to me eventually, third hand, out of place

I told someone. Last Tuesday. Out loud. In a kitchen.
And they said "okay" like it was nothing.
Four years of architecture and it took one okay.
(BUILD, DROP)

Two lives, two lives, two lives, two lives
Neither one's a lie and neither one's a lie
Two lives, two lives, two lives, two lives
Ask me which is real and I'll ask you why

(two lives...)
