“I’ll Be Waiting” is one of the last songs written for Rat Boy’s debut album Scum. One reviewer describes it as “one of the best festival singalongs” on the album. Another notes it “recalls Blur’s ‘End of a Century’ while offering a delicate beauty of its own.”
The lyrics describe a mutual relation...
[Verse 1]
Your style when you call me in the morning
You know it's getting kinda boring
Coz I'll pick up the phone
You only ever need me when you're feeling alone
And I'm tired of thinking about our future
Only got one when it suits you
But I know why you do it
Coz I do it too
[Bridge]
It could be easy if you'll just let it be
But I know that it could never be that easy for you
Coz nothing is
[Chorus]
When you get busy, you're just not into me
But I'll be here just waiting, waiting for the day
When you call up for me, well, I hope I'm busy
But 'til then I'm just waiting, waiting everyday
[Verse 2]
You're getting older now but that's alright
Do the window up to keep yourself dry
Love will get you in a state on this estate
Ain't like the movies, ain't no way
Wipe away the tears from your phone screen
Say you're with your mates but I know where you've been
I can hear 'em over my shoulder
They all love to say, 'I hate to say that I told you.'
[Bridge]
It could be easy if you'll just let it be
But I know that it could never be that easy for you
Coz nothing is
[Chorus]
When you get busy, you're just not into me
But I'll be here just waiting, waiting for the day
When you call up for me, well, I hope I'm busy
But 'til then I'm just waiting, waiting everyday
[Verse 3]
I don't want to let you go, but if I do I'll let you know
I don't want to let you go, if you want me back I'm just a stone's throw
I don't want to let you go, but if I do I'll let you know
You know it's not too late, if you want me back
I changed my number, but I can change it back
[Bridge]
Everyday I'm wasted.
I can't help it, I need you
Every time I'm wasted,
I can't help pocket dialing you
[Chorus]
When you get busy, you're just not into me
But I'll be here just waiting, waiting for the day
When you call up for me, well, I hope I'm busy
But 'til then I'm just waiting, waiting everyday
[Outro]
Waiting everyday, waiting everyday,
Tomorrow I'll be waiting, waiting everyday
Waiting everyday, waiting everyday,
Tomorrow I'll be waiting, waiting everyday

(‘I’ll Be Waiting’) was kind of an accident, which we made literally a week before handing in the record. I was with the band and we were just all messing around in the back of Noah’s car. We picked up a guitar from a friend’s hous...
