lyrics

I walked in, saw two legs in the room

One by the wall, one under the spoon

No words, just that old oak stare

Kettle still warm, and a second chair

White paint chipped on the back, near the seam

Mud on the feet from the hall by the screen

I looked at you, you looked at the floor

Like it had always been there before

You slid your bag by the skirting line

Took your coat off, said nothin' fine

I clocked that chair by the cracked tile slab

Same time, same seat, same silent grab

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

No talk, just air

No talk, just air

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

By the sink, two mugs, one chipped blue rim

Steam on the glass, but you didn't spin

Your phone face down by the bread on the side

That second chair sat like it knew its time

You crossed the rug with your socks half rolled

Sat in the new one, calm and cold

I heard the bus brake turn by the road

And that chair held the weight like it was told

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

No talk, just air

No talk, just air

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Half past nine, and the room stayed still

One chair empty, one chair filled

You tapped the leg with your ring on your hand

Like you'd made that seat from plan to plan

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?

No talk, just air

No talk, just air

Who left that chair?

Who left that chair?
