Callahan explained that the song is about the author James M. Cain. But ‘it seemed like kind of a clunky song title so he shortened it’.

Jim Cain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I started out in search of ordinary things
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story without knowing the end
[Verse 2]
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
Something too big to be seen was passing over and over me
Well it seemed like a routine case at first
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
And I work myself until I'm frazzled
[Verse 3]
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned
[Verse 4]
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
[Outro]
Oh oh oh oh-oh
Done me in
