[Intro: the octave bass gallops in alone, then the drums] [Verse 1] Tuesday at two-fourteen, I sent you the truth Every ugly word I owed you, no excuse Little gray letters underneath it said seen Then three dots, then nothing, then the nothing in between I could cry in the shower, I could drink with my friends I could block you and unblock you till the battery ends Five-fifteen at the station, and the concourse is packed So I set my bag down, and I didn't look back [Chorus] You left me on seen So I made a scene Under the big board At the five-fifteen All the trains were late So I gave them a show [Verse 2] I didn't sing it pretty, and I didn't sing it right Grown man in a necktie doing high kicks in the light Lady with a stroller started tapping her toe Cop on the stairs said, sir, then he let it go Kid filmed the whole thing, and he posted it twice Forty thousand people saw it overnight You can ignore one sorry, you can sit on one text You can't sit on a train station, baby, what's next Man in a suit put his coffee on the floor Took off his tie, and he asked me for more [Chorus] You left me on seen So I made a scene Under the big board At the five-fifteen All the trains were late So I gave them a show [Verse 3] Trains came in, and the trains went by Sang it to the pigeons and the pretzel guy Security came over with a radio and a sigh Then he loosened his tie, and he gave it a try Somebody's boss called, said, where are you, Ray? Ray said, I'm at a concert, and he hung up and stayed Two kids on the stairs started kissing on a dare An old man took his hat off, and he threw it in the air Somebody's grandmother grabbed my hand for a spin Said, honey, I got left on seen before seen was a thing Then the five-fifty came, and I took a bow Picked my bag up off the floor, and I'm lighter now [Bridge] I'm not asking you to answer I'm not asking you to come I just couldn't keep it quiet In a room for only one You can leave a man on seen You can leave him on the shelf But a man who's left alone that long Starts singing to himself [Final Chorus: the whole band plays the hook melody note for note with him] You left me on seen So I made a scene Under the big board At the five-fifteen Now a thousand strangers know What you couldn't say to me You left me on seen So I made a scene [Outro] Five-sixteen, and I'm catching my train Nobody leaves this man on seen again [End]
