[Verse 1 - intimate close-mic female vocal, conversational and clipped; sparse broken-beat groove, clean repeating guitar riff] 2:17, corner store light One earbud in, the other side quiet Three stops left on the last train home Your name comes up on my phone Rain on the glass, almost dry Taxis drag their lights outside I turn the screen down on my knee Watch my stop get closer to me [Pre-Chorus - slightly rising tension, tighter vocal phrasing; Rhodes and bass begin to lift] Green light Cross the street Thumb there Over your name One buzz That's all I lock the screen again [Chorus - wider hook; vocal, guitar riff and bass hit together; fuller drums, layered vocal doubles] Leave it unread Leave it unread Your name lights up Then goes away Leave it unread Just for tonight Three stops home That's enough Leave it unread Leave it unread Phone face down Keep moving on [Verse 2 - return to restrained groove; dry vocal, bass-forward and rhythmically tight] Automatic doors, fluorescent hum Cold canned coffee, half of it gone Someone laughs by the vending machine I look up when the doors turn green Battery low, 3 percent Your message still says what it says No second text, no question mark Just your name glowing in the dark [Pre-Chorus - same shape, slightly more pressure than before] Red light Empty street Thumb there Over your name One buzz No more I lock the screen again [Chorus - wider and firmer than the first; stronger sub-bass and vocal doubles] Leave it unread Leave it unread Your name lights up Then goes away Leave it unread Just for tonight Three stops home That's enough Leave it unread Leave it unread Phone face down Keep moving on [Bridge - strip back the drums; cold room tone, close vocal, repeating guitar motif left exposed] Key in the lock Shoes by the door Fridge light on Nothing I want Phone on the table Screen to the wood Your name is still there I leave it alone [Final Chorus - full groove returns; widest vocal layers, strongest bass and guitar-riff unison, no dramatic belting] Leave it unread Leave it unread Your name lights up Then goes away Leave it unread Just for tonight No reply Not tonight Leave it unread Leave it unread Phone face down First train outside
