Summer was lush

The winter is bony and rough here

Put cream in your cupThen blow steam off the cup

We walk down Francis, hit the 7-Eleven near campus

Holding hands like some kids

Then we wait till sunset, hit the liquor store on Selma

The neighbor′s dog barks from the trailer

Oh, Violet

Would you wait around with me?

I'm begging you, Violet

Would you stay around for me?

I′m begging you, Violet

The sunset looked violent

Your hair and your thighs are wet

Kiss you on the neck, Violet, Violet

You got my shirts in your car

I put punching bag in the yard

Laundry room flood from the rain

The whistling train, I kiss you again and again

You take photographs from the backseat

Down the back roads in Patapsco

We driving slow, windows are low

Tires are slick from the snow

And I think of you, Violet

Would you wait around with me?

I'm begging you, Violet

Would you stay around for me?

I'm begging you, Violet

The sunset looked violent

Your hair and your thighs are wet

Kiss you on the neck, Violet

I′m begging you, Violet

Would you wait around with me?

I′m begging you, Violet

Would you stay around for me?

I'm begging you, Violet

The sunset looked violent

Your hair and your thighs are wet

Kiss you on the neck, Violet, Violet

Ooh, ooh

Begging you, Violet

Begging you, begging you, begging you, Violet

Begging you, begging you, begging you, Violet

Violet, Violet, Violet, Violet, Violet, Violet

We get older, we both grow

It′s hot, it's cold

I want you so

I spend all day on the road

I call you up, "I′m heading home"

We hit the pub

I drink too much

You drive me home

Can't wait to get home

We laugh, we fight, we yell, we take it off

This town′s slow, I like it slow with you
