Wrote this over a couple of dreary rainy days, trying to capture that subdued lonely kind of mood.

Changed up my recording process for this one, using my real guitar amps and pedalboard rather than amp sim plugins.

Something really cool about committing to a sound before recording it, makes me feel like I spend more time getting the sound right rather than a kind of "fix it later" approach.

Lyrics

Pressed to the window as raindrops kiss the ground

Waiting for a car that never comes

Pain in a heart that's far too young

Tiny fingers scratching away

It's all in vain, it's all a game

Sometimes neglect creates a debt

The more you want the less you get

An affectation of regret sets up the senses to reflect

On this, you wanna get a kiss?

Efficiently deficient, in position for derision

Waiting for a car that never comes

Pain in a heart that's far too young

Tiny fingers scratching away

It's all in vain, it's all a game

Dependency breeds

You wanted to feed

So feast your eyes on a broken man and you can savour the hopelessness

(Waiting for a car that never comes, it never comes)

(Pain in a heart that's far too young, it's far too young)

Waiting for a car that never comes

Pain in a heart that's far too young

Tiny fingers scratching a name

It's all the same, it's all a game
