Stain Lyrics
[Intro]
(Ooh, wa, wa)
(Ooh, wa, wa)
[Verse 1]
Always been busy with nothing to do
Got a bottle of a something that I’m dying to lose
Swallow my pride, keep the phone on mute
‘Til you call, why’d you call?
Caught between you and the telephone jack
Damn it, right when I was getting my life on track
You saw an opportunity to come running back
And the walls start to fall
[Chorus]
It’s a stain that I’ll never get out
It’s a stain, the kind they warn you about
It’s so vain to be calling the house
It’s a stain that I can’t get out, oh, no
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, wa, wa)
(Ooh, wa, wa)
[Verse 2]
I’ve been getting out the house, even better, my head
Had a gap-toothed smile, I’m rolling ’round in my bed
And to top it all off, I lost all my regrets
Standing tall, please don’t call
Well, I’m sorry that it didn’t work out with your man
But there’s nothing fun in feeling like a backup plan
Just write a few songs, put a pen in your hand
That worked for me, babe, hey
[Chorus]
It’s a stain that I’ll never get out
It’s a stain, the kind they warn you about
It’s so vain to be calling the house
It’s a stain that I can’t get out, oh, no
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It’s a stain that I’ll never get out
It’s a shame, oh, mama warned me about the day
That you’d be coming around, it’s a stain, hey, hey
It’s a stain that I’ll never get out
It’s a stain, the kind they warn you about
It’s so vain to be calling the house
It’s a stain that I can’t get out, oh, no
[Outro]
(Ooh, wa, wa) Oh, no
(Ooh, wa, wa) Mm-mm
(Ooh, wa, wa) Ooh

Song Bio of Stain Lyrics – ROLE MODEL
Heartbreak rarely sounds this catchy. On “Stain,” ROLE MODEL turns the messy aftermath of a rekindled ex into a breezy, guitar-driven confession that refuses to wallow. The track finds the singer finally clawing back some peace, only to have an old flame resurface right as life starts falling into place. Rather than spiraling, he leans into wry humor, comparing the relationship to a mark that simply won’t wash away no matter how hard he scrubs.
Produced by Mason Stoops, Taylor Mackall, and Kane Ritchotte, the song pairs a warm, retro-tinged melody with lyrics that shift between vulnerability and self-assured detachment. ROLE MODEL doesn’t just mourn the situation; he pokes fun at it, turning late-night phone calls and unwanted “opportunities” into fuel for a hook that’s impossible to shake.
“Stain” arrived August 7, 2026, as part of his album Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, continuing the diaristic, emotionally direct songwriting that’s become his signature. It’s a breakup anthem built for singing at full volume — equal parts heartbreak and hard-won clarity.
