Blueprint Heart

[Verse 1]
The dust on the Calumet Bridge still tastes like rust
on the last Friday night of another August.
This whole town's a room with the windows nailed shut,
but I feel a new draft, got a sweet kind of strut.

[Chorus]
I got a blueprint heart, baby, let's start fresh,
Draw a new door right through this beautiful mess.
I got a blueprint heart, yeah, the rhythm is the proof,
Gonna raise a dance floor right up to the roof.

[Verse 2]
Remember the cold on the vinyl back seat?
"'There's no second floor here,' is what you once said to me."
You held out your hand, a map of defeat,
now the beat is the scaffolding under my feet.

[Chorus]
I got a blueprint heart, baby, let's start fresh,
Draw a new door right through this beautiful mess.
I got a blueprint heart, yeah, the rhythm is the proof,
Gonna raise a dance floor right up to the roof.

[Bridge]
When the last freight train pulls out from the yard,
I'm not on it, baby, I'm punching my card.

[Outro]
New foundation. Step by step now.
