lyrics

At 7:40, key in the bowl

One black coat, one red scarf, one cold tile floor

By the table, a second chair stood still

Chrome leg catching light from the fridge door

I counted cups on the blue enamel tray

Two spoons, one ashtray, a receipt from May

No one asked why it was there that night

It matched the table like it knew its place

I touched the backrest, smooth and bare

Pulled it a little, heard the scrape

Your jacket hung on the hallway hook

But the room had room to take

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Right there, right there

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Nobody said a word

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

By the table, by the plate

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Like it had always stayed

At 9:12, the kettle clicked

Steam on the window, thin and white as wire

Your glass on the sill had one red lip mark

Mine held cold tea gone tired

I slid my phone face-down on the book

Maps of Berlin, two stops to the east

That second chair kept its painted line

Between the wall and the grocery receipt

I looked at you, you looked ahead

Like chairs appear and do not need name

The rain tapped soft on the inner yard

And nothing in the room felt strange

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Right there, right there

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Nobody said a word

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

By the table, by the plate

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Like it had always stayed

Half past ten, the hallway hummed

Boots by the mat, keys in a dish

You moved a mug an inch to the left

Then left the second chair where it is

No announcement, no map, no sign

Just a seat in the shape of us

I watched the room learn one more line

And hold it in the dust

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Right there, right there

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Nobody said a word

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

By the table, by the plate

Second chair, second chair, second chair, second chair

Like it had always stayed
