Mcgroover Perfect rainy day tune! Take a walk and watch the traffic reflections on the road—it’s a vibe! Can’t wait to hear more! Favorite track: Xi'an Lights.

ailiaxne my new favorite song!!!!! sooooo good, it literally changed my life<3 Favorite track: Xi'an Lights.

7reak Incredible way to break through the ceiling of ice! I especially enjoyed the vocals where she steps away from the mic and lets go a little but then returns to the lulling words from the beginning. Love the guitar work and cannot wait to hear what's next.

lyrics

Waiting on the side of the curb
Watching all the cars dart and swerve
Waiting for the dreadful day
Anxiety paves its wretched ways

Waiting for you is a waste of time
Yet I can’t get you off of my mind

Do you think the rain falls in patterns
Constantly sporadic
Do you love me
Or do you simply say it
Out of habit

Darling, it took that much time
To get me past the point of just fine
Darling, the only thing that I want most
Is a stationary peace of mind
Maybe I have a strong personality
But really, I’m just complacent
Maybe I find it easy to conform
Even though I may be faking it

Do you think the rain falls in patterns
Constantly sporadic
Do you love me
Or do you simply say it
Out of habit
Waiting on the side of the curb
Watching all the cars dart and swerve
Waiting for the dreadful day
Anxiety paves its wretched ways

Waiting for you is a waste of time
Yet I can’t get you off of my mind
Do you think the rain falls in patterns
Constantly sporadic
Do you love me
Or do you simply say it
Out of habit
