lyrics
I left my keys in the blue bowl by the hall At 7:12, the kettle clicked once, then none at all By the west window, a second chair sat in place Still warm from nowhere, facing the radiator's face No note on the table, no coat on the hook Just two cups drying in the sink when I looked I touched the wood, and the silence stayed thin Like someone had arrived and folded their skin Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair It just sat there Acting like it belonged there From Östersund to Kungsholmen, I carried my name Same scarf, same boots, but the room felt changed At 8:03, I counted the tiles on the floor One chair by the desk, and then suddenly more No footsteps, no knock, no voice in the frame Yet the second chair held its exact same shape I pulled out the drawer, found a spoon and a receipt Three pears in a bowl and two sets of feet Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair It just sat there Acting like it belonged there I asked the lamp, but it only glowed white The window showed Mälaren under hard winter light I moved one chair close, then I moved it away And the other one waited, like it knew I'd stay Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair It just sat there Acting like it belonged there
