Discover the story of the song > Shady Lane – Pavement

The protagonist went on a blind date with someone who made him split the bill, and he's having some trouble with a nail file. He thinks his partner looks pretty when she cries. He's feeling stressed out and isolated, and feels like he's living in a movie. The song is about wanting a peaceful, quiet, and shady place to relax and escape from the chaos of the world.
