Need a little help. It’s the song that is played once during the movie and then again during the credits after “Love Grows” by Edison Lighthouse. It sounds like the Talking Heads but I don’t have the movie in front of me to confirm this and it is not included on the soundtrack. Ideas?

It’s Cake’s “Comfort Eagle”. Here’s a link to the lyrics:
