“Posing for Cars” is the closing track on Jubilee. In an interview with The Ringer, Michelle Zauner said of the song:

Posing for Cars Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke from a dream in which you'd left me
Posing for cars on the American stoop
Don't make me beg you just 'cause you can
I'm just a woman with a loneliness
I'm just a woman with needs
[Chorus]
And how could you ever conceive
How much I need you, how truly barren I can be?
They say that time, it is the only certainty
But it's been one o'clock for hours
Oh, the day is long, untangling
[Verse 2]
Can't sort release from what I sold you
Is this what it takes to enjoy the day?
All of my pleasures left on display
I'm just a hollow root pushing through
I'm just the empty space inside the room
[Chorus]
And how could you ever conceive
This adolescent heart skipping beats?
When all your love, it grows full and firm beneath
Without a festered thought, without an emerald want
Just a single slow desire fermenting
[Guitar Solo]

What did Japanese Breakfast say about "Posing for Cars"?
I love a long, six-minute song to show off a little bit. It starts off as an understated acoustic guitar ballad that reminded me of Wilco’s ‘At Least That’s What You Said’, which also morphs from this intimate acoustic scene before exploding into a long guitar solo. To me, it always has felt like Je...
Where did Zauner find sonic inspiration for this track?
Zauner told Harper’s Bazaar:
Wilco’s ‘At Least That’s What You Said’ was also a big inspiration for my song ‘Posing for Cars.’ I felt like it had a similar sonic narrative in a way. It’s a scene between two people who are struggling to communicate with one another; there’s a lot that’s not being sa...
