Sidewalking started as a piano riff Bailey had been sitting on for a while. This song is different from the rest of the album in terms of instrumentation. It includes synth bass, djembe, piano and most notably, an absence of electric guitars. The lyrics are inspired by first loves, and the expectations they set up for us throughout our lives. The vocals are inspired by hymnals typically found in church music.
lyrics
Glass bubble
Spark plug
Summer in the dark
Sizzling and blistered
Egg cracked
Sidewalking in the car
Dripping runny
Quiet.
I warmed you in the fall
Memories go fuzzy
Man those days were the good ones.
