Later On 03:44
At first, it's easier to leave than be left, but later on, you'll wish you were left. I left where I grew up and without me everything keeps goin' on If you leave, you'll wish you were left later on If you leave, you'll wish you were left later on Back then, I couldn't wait to get the hell out of that place, but now I can't stop talkin' about how great it was and you were such an ass so how come I can only remember the good times when you were my friend and lover If you leave, you'll wish you were left later on If you leave, you'll wish you were left later on

I've got a hole in my heart because you've blown me away I've got a hole in my heart because you've blown me away You've got a hold on my heart because it won't have anyone else You've got a hold on my heart because it won't have anyone else I'm tryin' so hard to fall asleep but just before I drift off you come back in my head I'm so tired and wide awake I'm tryin' so hard to get over it it doesn't help that I keep playing' it in my head I don't want to forget you. You've gone and left a hole in my heart You've gone and left a hole in my heart You've gone and left a hole in my heart You've gone and left a hole in my heart...

Love is sure to come catch you any time you fall Love is sure to come catch you any time you fall Crash, you're love is a no show Crash, you're love is a no show When you're a bird, you fly And if you fly, then you fall When you will fall, don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash When you're a bird, you fly And if you fly, then you fall When you will fall, don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash

No Way Out 03:45
There's somebody livin' above me in the crawl space with no way out except for where I live with no way out because it's in my head There's somebody livin' above me in the crawl space with no way out except for where I live with no way out because it's in my head When I get home I go and open the fridge but there's no beer left could I have really drank that much? If I tell somebody what's happening to me I wonder will they wonder if there's no way out because it's in my head there's no way out because it's in my head No way out No way out No way out All my neighbors they don't believe me and they all play jokes on me All my neighbors they don't believe me and they all play jokes on me All my neighbors they don't believe me and they all play jokes on me...

Waitin' in line baby's cryin' and the cart is full keep checkin' the time it's been at least 5 days since I've heard from you So here I am callin' you and I let it ring til I lose count before I am hangin' and givin' up on you I'll find my way by the moon painted hillside and visit a memory in the shape of a cloud Headed for my man in the country through miles of nowhere he won't be expectin' me We'll talk in whispers like wind in the tallest pines weightless in a spell it's oh, indefinite Headed for my man in the country through miles of nowhere he won't...

Well I'm afraid I've worn out my welcome in this town never gonna see you again I'm afraid I've worn out my welcome in this town never gonna see you again I wake to the phone, but I just let it ring and listen to the message with your voice all mean You tell me to go to hell but you know you'd go wherever I go You see I let a man believe I'd love him someday knowing all the while there'd be no such day so soon I'll forget all of these memories like stories from strangers of better and worse times Well I'm afraid I've worn out my welcome in this town never gonna see you again I'm afraid I've worn out my welcome in this town never gonna see you again never, never...

Definitely I don't know if I can keep my heart safe from you can keep my heart safe from you can keep my heart safe from you Maybe someday kid you will figure out how I gave up just to have you how I gave up just to have you how I gave up just to have you I'm not heaven sent I'm just a mother who loves you even when you don't loves you even when it hurts to... I'm not heaven sent I'm just a mother who loves you even when you don't loves you even when it hurts to... love you Definitely I don't know if I can keep my heart safe from you

Right Here 04:26
You are always in another room bu bu but it's more like another planet ahuh uh I can't make sense of this no no no I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I come rap at your door wo wo wo like puppy in love But I've got nothing important so I back up and play dead I back up and play dead I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I'll be right here if you want to find me, I'll be right here I'm not ready to leave unless you ask me to at least not without a trace just in case you want to find me I'm not ready to leave unless you ask me to it seems that you don't have the nerve so I guess it's up to me I guess it's up to me...

You keep sayin' that the day is comin' that you will stop but, it's been comin' for years. Everyday is nothin' but a long hard wait for the night to fall oh, when will you fall? Don't get lost on your way home tonight, babe you know you're runnin' out of second chances. I'll be comin' up with all the lines I want to tell you but, it'll only piss you off Oh when you see the world in double and you hear it in an echo It's not a wonder how you always seem to get it all wrong Don't get lost on your way home cause every night is becoming a long hard wait for you to finally make your way home home...

I was fine before I met you Well, that's not true All I know is that once I met you I wasn't fine til I could have you Now that i know you and your love, I'm not fine without you Cause I've tried other lovers and no one of them has what you got So if you leave the earth before I do I don't know if I could stick around If you leave the earth before I do I don't know if I could stick around I know you'd say I shouldn't think like that but I can't help it, you know I worry I can't help it, you know I worry

about

V I O L E N T M A E Roxbury, Connecticut

Violent Mae was never intended to be a band. Becky asked Floyd to record and produce her first solo album, and as soon as they hit the studio, chemistry and dynamics between the two sparked the evolution of an artistic partnership. Rising out of Becky’s guitar driven songwriting and multi instrumentalist, Floyd’s production style, Kid (due 11/20/2015) is a document of a band coming into its own. ... more
