I Came Home Late Album Lyrics by Ama Lou

Caught Me Running

I had your intentions
Well, if that ain't enough
I don't know what is
And I told you no one was there
It caught me across
It hit me running (running)

I feel your pain when you sleep at night
Tell me some things that will make you tired
Look at my face
It will be alright

You're sad and lonely
You don't see
Don't make me say it
Go somewhere where you can let it out
Try and solve me
There's no need
Don't make me say it
I tried to tell you
Don't make me

I'm caught in a writing spell
Lost on my own
Don't interrupt it
And I don't need a babysitter
It's not your fault
You won't be punished

I feel your pain when you sleep at night
Tell me some things that will make you tired
Look at my face
It will be alright

So sad and lonely
You don't see
Don't make me say it
Go somewhere where you can let it out
You try and solve me
There's no need
Don't make me say it
I tried to tell you
Don't make me

Caught me running
Speak up
Please do tell
I'm smothered in silence
I'm tired but hide it well
That was an uphill battle
A wild ride

So sad and lonely
So sad and lonely
You don't see
Don't make me say it
Go somewhere where you can let it out
You try and solve me
There's no need
Don't make me say it
I tried to tell you

So sad and lonely
So sad and lonely
You don't see
Don't make me say it
Go somewhere where you can let it out
You try and solve me
There's no need
Don't make me say it
I tried to tell you
Don't make me

Caught me, caught me running
Caught me running
Caught me running
Thought you
Caught me running
Caught me running
Thought you
Caught me running
Caught me running

No Safety

Kill them even if they try and fake it
For that I'll rework the matrix ha ha
Pretty pleased with those that I've tainted I
How long did you replan your day trip?

I'm the only one that watched my behavior
Tried to put me on, with no f*cking saviors (I'm tryna do me)
Careful it may be strong, I don't know what's wrong I
Call me when it's done, I don't know what's wrong I

'Cause I ain't quite done yet
You can hide out backstage
Stressed out in designer, when do you get paid?
But it ain't about that, you just had a bad day
Just trying to find the cause of you feeling this way (Yeah, no)
Say no, say no, say no more
You playin' with the fact you could be adored
I'm gonna hit you back on tour (I won't, I won't)
Drive through on the block, no safety

Those ain't the type of spirits I be chasing
No I don't drink, But that's the type of thing I'd say
I know we're bless but why you trying to bait it (why you tryna bait it, fam?)
These time you'd wish I'd settle down
Yo say less

I'm the only one that watched my behavior
Tried to put me on, with no f*cking saviors (I'm tryna do me)
Careful it may be strong, I don't know what's wrong I
Call me when it's done, I don't know what's wrong I

'Cause I ain't quite done yet
You can hide out backstage
Stressed out in designer, when do you get paid? (Stressed out, stressed out)
But it ain't about that, you just had a bad day
Just trying to find the cause of you feeling this way (feelin', you feel it, yeah, no)
Say no, say no, say no more (say no more)
You playin' with the fact you could be adored (you could be adored)
I'm gonna hit you back on tour (I won't)
Drive through on the block, no safety (nobody done, done)

I could do that if you pick up the slack
Please don't whine and nag, anything but that, oh no
Such a Haines task, give or throw it back
Please don't please don't, erase your past
Gentle now, so, so

'Cause I ain't quite done yet
You can hide out backstage
Stressed out in designer, when do you get paid?
But it ain't about that, you just had a bad day
Just trying to find the cause of you feeling this way (I'm feelin', you feel it, you feel it, yeah, no)
Say no, say no, say no more (say no more)
You playin' with the fact you could be adored (yeah)
I'm gonna hit you back on tour
Drive through on the block, no safety

Block 'em, block 'em, block 'em
Blocked on Instagram, blocked on Facebook

Car Parts

Ama
Can't see you
Hello, hello
Where are you?

Starin' at the break lights
Didn't realize it was midnight
Maybe it's the way I
Don't dismiss, great intent
Can I really be home soon?
Meetings on the westside
They ask how my projects coming along
I'm convinced I don't want anyone to know
But being in disguise will take me down

Down places, high stakes
Got all I was asking for
Went back for a pedicure
Time's brazy
Remind me of the basics?
Battling with my bad rapport
Who knows what I was searching for
I finally have my chance to really say out loud
I facetimed you right back
I think that you cut out
Still convinced I don't want anyone to know
But maybe all this time will shake me out?

Anyone to notice, please?
I signed up for the paper round
I'm sad that you waited out
Anyone could know by now

Oh and that was some deal, I don't wanna die in it
Hate me that's fine, I don't ask you bout my feelings
My angels don't abide, you ain't nothin' but some cynics, yeah
Oh, I had the best time, I left before it finished
You said a legend never cries, how else they supposed to fit in?
You know I'd rather stay inside, won't you give me just a minute? Oh

Oh, and
Before I do forget I remember to listen, try not to mention it
Headin' out to stages would be fine, you preached her on demand
I saw you in the line, I saw you walkin' out that
Downtown apartment, drivin' with no caution (drivin' with no caution)
Coupons for your bathroom, I know where you started (i know where you started)
It doesn't really matter 'cause I can always spot you (i can always spot you)
Part of all my family, part of the same run
And you did it (and you did it)
But why you actin' different? You not (but why you actin' different?)
And you were aimin' for that one spot? (Sounds about the same)
But you act like you didn't know (you act like you didn't know but I knew you, you did)
When they found your burner phone, now you celebrate alone
Ignore the details and we fail

I said, anyone to notice please?
I signed up for your paper round
I'm sad that you waited out
'Cause anyone could know by now

Oh it's not a done deal, I don't wanna die in it
Hate me that's fine (hate me that's fine)
I don't ask you bout my feelings, my angels don't abide
You ain't nothin' but some cynics, yeah (oh, you ain't nothin' but some cynics, yeah)
Oh, I had the best time (oh, I had the best time), I left before it finished
You said a legend never cries (a legend never cries), how else they supposed to fit in?
You know I'd rather stay inside (rather stay inside)
Won't you give me just a minute oh? (A minute, a minute, a minute yeah)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Up the stairway to heaven

Tokyo Cowboy

Forklift my soul, yeah
I was only out here to make P's
Forgive my goals yeah
I wasn't expecting an A-team
I have been in love, but (love, but)
Not with an equal other

(So I said)
Ride on, ride on, ride on
I showed you that and I
Ride on, ride, on ride on
A touch of skin lets you right in
I'm wonderin' how to say 'when'
And I despise my poor design
I was only waitin'
For the tides to turn and my eyes to burn
Back into rage again

'Cause the north winds pushed slighting
On horses I'll ride in, oh (against me, against me, against me)
And I feel you right by me
A Trojan disguise with open arms? (I'm sure you know, yeah)
'Cause the north winds pushed slighting
On horses I'll ride in, oh (yeah, no, no)
And I feel you right by me
A Trojan disguise, I hope not
I sure hope now

Commit to you on a Sunday
Directors always saved by the AD (saved by the AD)
And there's no time in telling what will be
You communicate the same as me
It's a question of did I save the best for last?
Oh, I hope you're not too shy to ask, oh

Ride on, ride on, ride on
I showed you that and I (I showed you that)
Ride on, ride, on ride on
A touch of skin lets you right in
I'm wonderin' how to say 'when'
And I despise my poor design
I was only waitin'
For the tides to turn and my eyes to burn
Back into rage again

'Cause the north winds pushed slighting
On horses I'll ride in, oh
And I feel you right by me
A Trojan disguise with open arms?
'Cause the north winds pushed slighting
On horses I'll ride in, oh (go open your heart)
And I feel you right by me
A Trojan disguise, I hope not
I sure hope now (I sure hope now)

I'll wipe my slate clean
I'm scared to call you baby
Doordash, deep talks, dish out
I gotta dip out with Daisy
I told her clear my day please
She knows that it's not deep
Oh, look at us, who would have thought?
Not me
Right on, get right on, right on
I showed you that and I
Ride on, ride on, ride on
A touch of skin
Lets you right in
Now I'm wonderin' how your day went
And I despise my poor design
I was only waitin'
For the tides to turn and my eyes to burn
Back into rage again

Played Me

You played me and I can't even act like I don't care
I'm tired of thinkin' it's not conventionally fair
I bet you thought I'd shy away too much to bare
But really the investigation will continue

Used to vibe off much complaining
Anxiety was on my daily
Then I felt how much my weight is
If not for that I'd be sedated

Don't call my phone and try make me say (call my phone, call my phone, call my phone)
'Cause I will call you back and make you pay (yo, new phone who's this?)
'Cause I'm out here looking at each side (each side)
Why am I still here? It's way past my bedtime I
Oh, I'm fallin' back in my best light
One of these days you will realize
That you felt better when we were apart (you felt better)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You played me and I can't even act like I don't care
I'm tired of thinkin' it's not conventionally fair
I bet you thought I'd shy away too much to bare
But really the investigation will continue

Didn't realize
I'd been taken granted for
Let me awaken
Just arrived and I'm not playing
There is nothing I won't have my say in

So don't call my phone and try make me say (call my, call my, call my)
'Cause I will call you and say things you hate (call you and say things you hate)
'Cause I'm out here looking at each side
Why am I still here? It's way past my bedtime I
Oh, I'm fallin' back in my best light
One of these days you will realize
That you felt better when we were apart (you felt better, you felt better, you felt better)
Yeah

You played me and I can't even act like I don't care
I'm tired of thinkin' it's not conventionally fair (I'm so tired)
I bet you thought I'd shy away too much to bare (too much to bear)
But really, the investigation will continue

Continue, will continue (only reason I'm)
Continue, continue (don't see why I continue)
Continue, continue (only reason I continue)

Don't see why she call me
Only reason I'm still here
Don't see why she, why she
Only reason, only reason
Don't see why she call me
Only reason I'm still gere

Frustrated

I'm so numb now
All the roads I done took now

I'm ashamed that I burned out
Was so drained by you messing 'round
But I'll forgive myself more than you
But how do you expect me to act now?
When all that noise plays in the background?
Stoppin' me from gettin' through

'Cause I'm scared to mix up, the present and was
I can't remember anything you said
But it weren't about love, I don't have enough trust to make this better
I've been pushed enough so I gave it all up
Can't remember anything you said but you were too comfortable
To see it, at all my way
(So now you're screaming)

I'm so annoyed I waited
And I get more frustrated 'cause I had you
So I can't complain
And I can't believe you made it (I can't believe you made it)
I won't hold you back
Just save me a time and a place
Oh no, and I just, save me?

I won't call your bluff anymore
I think I'll sit my ass down and ignore
I tried to stop all the fightin'
Inside your own peaceless mind, oh no
I count our soulless interactions
Tryna figure out what was the attraction?
I've felt this way for a very long time

'Cause I'm scared to mix up (I'm scared to), the present and was (mix up I)
I can't remember anything you said (I can't remember)
But it weren't about love, I don't have enough trust (this wasn't about love) to make this better
I've been pushed (I've been pushed) enough so I gave it all up (enough I)
Can't remember anything you said (I can't remember)
But you were too comfortable to see all your mistakes (see all your mistake)

I'm so annoyed I waited
And I get more frustrated 'cause I had you
So I can't complain, oh, no, no
And I can't believe you made it (I can't believe you made it)
I won't hold you back
Just save me a time and a place
Oh no, and I just, save me, save me?
(Ah, ah, ah)

I give way more then I take
I left way more than I stayed
I tried not to wish it away
Away, away, away
I thrive in most of my days
So I try not to wish them away
I try not to wish it away (I try not to wish it away)

I'm so annoyed I waited
And I get more frustrated 'cause I had you
So I can't complain
Can't believe I made it
I won't hold me back
Just save you a time and a place?
I think you had and your time and your place
Oh, I saved you a time and a place

Bad Weather

'Cause it's not fair how sun shines when only you're around
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away
And how does snow end up in California?
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

Hurricanes can be the makin' of people
What if I faded away with the mist?
If acid rain eroded our houses
Could you relate to the crumblin' bricks?
And death will always happen
But we can't be born just to die
And waves continue to flow with the ocean
No one noticed that woman cryin'

Seems I can't see clearly when you're not around
But that won't work as we're not legally bound
A lifelong supply of slippery roads
Torrential rain and hail stones

'Cause it's not fair how sun shines when only you're around (oh, oh, oh)
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away (oh, oh, oh)
And how does snow end up in California? (Oh, oh, oh)
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

A drought in a country where it rains every day
And seasons in the desert will never change
Eternal light in the Arctic
So tell me, why people can't see so well in snow storms again?
When something's lost, it's noticed
But who second-guesses routines
Run life on the prediction of weather
Segregated like piano keys

Seems I can't see clearly when you're not around
But that won't work as we're not legally bound
A lifelong supply of slippery roads
Torrential rain and hail stones

'Cause it's not fair how sun shines when only you're around (oh, oh, oh)
And it's not fair how it rains when you're away (oh, oh, oh)
And how does snow end up in California? (Oh, oh, oh)
Only bad weather, as my dad would say

Only bad weather, it will pass in a day
Only bad weather, it will eventually go away

Winter

Snowman, oh
Are you a snowman?
No, I'm not a snowman
I'm a mummy-man, haha
I'm a mummy
Daddy, Daddy
Look

Pick me up by the Winter
I ain't got nothing left for you
And I sure don't taste much but bitter
But, I ain't got nothing left for you
Oh so he's mundane?
Just carries on

Real life makes me feel like I'm over
Feels, oh, makes me feel weaker
Makes me feel like I can do it on my own
But I've been away
I've made it again
Oh, I've been away
I'm riding the same
Just carrying on

I used my reasonable doubt well
I ain't stuck to your love no more
I think I might as well feel better
Since it's taken me this long

Pick him up and feed him well
I don't wanna keep you
So, you can go, I won't tell
But what it takes to feed you
Since you wanna leave this world
You'll have to find out on your own
But I still pick him up and wish him well
I'll no longer keep you
So, you can go but give them hell
You're the only one who can free you
How's you gonna be my girl
You'll wish you hadn't of gone
(You will always be my girl)

So pick me by the Winter
And tell me 'bout the Winter
I made it through the Winter
Some days I can't help wondering how

Silence

Silence
Silence

Silence don't bring me down
It's got that kinda charm that resurrects
So bring me silence
'Til you start hearin' sounds
Maybe it's just one of those things that you don't get

Again I blame it on my brain for this mess I'm in
For makin' me this way, so damn sensitive
Truth has them always coming direct
For my head
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Better watch out for your speedin', you got opps all on them sides
And don't watch if I ain't speakin', I already clocked you ain't one of mine
Can't believe I was convinced that you were actually alright
Addin' up your stories, rollin' my eyes

Suddenly I'm deepin'
When I sit with y'all I just get this awful feeling
How'd I not notice that there's smoke fillin' up the ceiling?
Oh, I don't wanna die in no fire
We know who started it so
Don't lie

'Cause silence don't bring me down
It's got that kinda charm that resurrects
So bring me silence
'Til you start hearin' sounds
Maybe it's just one of those things that you don't get

Again I blame it on my brain for this mess I'm in
For makin' me this way, so damn sensitive
Truth has them always coming direct
For my head, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

See, it's all about the details but that's somethin' you pay no mind
Tryna kill off all my demons, I ain't wastin' no more time
See, I told you what would happen, don't bring that drama in my life
If you ain't the one, stop stealin' my light

Suddenly I'm deepin'
When I sat with you I just got this heavy feeling
You're so judgmental, tryna stop a bitch from healin'
F*ck, I don't wanna die in no fire
You know who started it so, shit
Don't lie

'Cause silence don't bring me down
It's got that kinda charm that resurrects
So bring me silence
'Til you start hearing sounds
Maybe it's just one of those things that you don't get

Again I blame it on my brain for this mess I'm in
For making me this way, so damn sensitive
The truth has them always coming direct
For my head
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Silence)
(Silence)
(Silence)

Patience

Confess, please, 'cause I did nothin' wrong
I paid with my past and completed the task, and then made it a habit
I need new beats 'cause I hear the same songs
I was ready to cash in on all of the sadness back when it was happenin'

'Cause now the time gone seems so silly
What will it take you to forgive me?
I feel weighted down
And I'm in a state of sorrow
You just hold on until tomorrow
If I ever figure it out, it out, it out

I'll still be patient
What you know about patience?
It doesn't mean waitin'
Wait, did somebody say that?
Those two things ain't the same, yeah

I'm so ready, but did I do somethin' wrong?
'Cause I still feel the shadows when I'm made to dazzle
Will they see how much I've grown?
Oh, no, 'cause I never wanted someone to save me through those deep waters, I waded
How could I be doubtful when I spent all these hours
On all that I now know?

But still, the time gone seems so silly
What will it take to forgive me?
I feel weighted down
And I'm in a state of sorrow
I just hold until tomorrow
I was supposed to figure this out, will they bless me now?

The more that you forgive me
The less that I will take
Lord, if You get in this house
You'd kill me for my sakes, and I
I'm not sick of tryin', but will it ever end?
Thought I'd feel so much better if I never felt again

The torment don't stop
And it gets worse as you reach the top
So you keep on movin' like I better not
And like this work ain't somethin' to be proud of
But you know me, I always beg to differ
'Cause your right path won't ever miss you
You weren't supposed to figure this out, do you get it now?

But I know the time gone still seems so silly
What will it take you to forgive me?
I feel so weighted down, down
And I was in a state of sorrow
A little self-compassion led you to tomorrow
Guess you're wonderin' what this is all about, please, don't turn me down
Thank God for patience

I'll try on this patience
No, it doesn't mean waitin'
Wait, did somebody say that?
Those two things ain't never been the same

Real Life

Oh, I had these feelings set on timer, baby
So I don't have to be out here about it, no doubt it
Might seem like I'm still decidin' but no
And that won't even suffice me, baby
Oh, just, please, keep tryin', I'm wildin', not childish
I promise my love's the best deposit (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I was lobbyin' the time we spent
Played it down, powered forward
Compared it to back then, oh
I was waitin' to see what my body says (body says)
Could you be a more degree of my climate? No
I decided to realize, this real life? It's real life
I gotta do somethin', not nothin'
If not, I'm gonna stay burnt

I gotta be clearer now (uh)
(Gotta be, gotta be)
Doesn't seem big to tell you what big is
Compliment fishin' (compliment fishin')
And so, I said, "Don't look sad"
I'll loop and come get you
Run loops around your sun (around your sun)
Oh, that just slipped out
Well, you know, I was not meant to fit in, oh no

Oh, I had these feelings set on timer, baby
So I don't have to be out here about it, no doubt it
Might seem like I'm still decidin' but no
And that won't even suffice me, baby
Oh, just, please, keep tryin', I'm wildin', not childish (childish)
I promise my love's the best deposit

Woo, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Doubt it
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh

I think it's finished
Oh, yeah, this the last session
Don't be (?) when's the last time (?)
That's it

Mm

It's always "Ama, where have you been?"
Well, there's no point in askin' me now
'Cause I'm not gonna be there
That shit came, already broke me down
What the f*ck have I been dealt here?
I told God, He can take it back
Don't wanna be the strong one this year
Rough side of the mountain (rough side of the mountain)
Nah, f*ck that (nah, f*ck that)
I plan on leadin' (I plan on leadin')
Myself onto greener pastures (planned on us meetin')
will you be there? (Be on those pastures with you)
At last? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that we both know (if not yet, then I plan to)
It becomes a situation if not (becomes a situation if not)
And only one of us here is actin' tough (only one of us here is tough)
So
Forget that, I'll get back
Forgive myself for my reactions
If you hurt, I respect that
But I still stand by all my actions

Bah

Be Well

Be well, my baby
I'll make it back to say goodbye, no point in hidin'
So you can sleep well, my baby
There's not much left to figure out
Oh, I've decided

Still can't believe that I met you, and it's a quarter past five
You ask me to wake you at a quarter to nine
Then you get back in bed like there's nothin' outside (yeah)

Oh, this is really all, babe? I get so sad about it (so sad about it)
I think of the loss, babe, if you weren't around
What about my concept of receivin'?
I'd hate to feel needy

So be well, my baby (be well)
I'll make it back to say goodbye (I'll make it back, make it back)
No point in hidin' (make it back)
So you can sleep well, my baby (sleep well, well, sleep well)
There's not much left to figure out, oh, I've decided
Uh-huh, uh

I hope we remember when we think back on this time
You know that first look you gave me, stayed in the back of my mind
And how you handled my sadness, I was so scared it would backfire (all my sadness)

But this is really all, babe? I get so sad about it
I think of the loss, babe, if you weren't around
But there's no "if", "ands", "should", or "maybes", I won't be dissuaded
I'm gon' love you for the rest of my life
'Cause I'm ready to risk it all to keep you in my life
Problem is, I don't think they give us enough time on this planet
To feel it all, before fadin' out

So be well, my baby (be well, be well, be well, baby)
I'll make it back to say goodbye, no point in hidin' (no point in hidin', yeah)
So you can sleep well, my baby (so, please, sleep well, please, sleep well)
No matter what, I'll always appreciate your timin'

I've never been one for searching 'cause what I sought was not wise
Considerin' my distance to it, thought they gave up on I
But you're here, so I must be doin' something right
(Must be doin' something right)

So be well, my baby
I'll make it back, yeah, right on time
Save all those thoughts you've been hidin' (no)
I'll sleep well, my baby
Knowin' you'll always be right there
To help me out

I Came Home Late

I'm startin' to get this drunk thing
I'm copin' my thoughts out the same damn strain
'Ready this mornin' I've done 'bout fifteen things
'Fore you got here I was up at 5 A.M
OCD, let me do this one thing only
Yeah, I'll be down to sing, where do I stand?
Ask me how long I'll let this thing on me
It's all part of the game

I'm bleedin' and nada
Have no one to blame (bleeding and)
Patience and balance but turned up the same
Eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, oh

Your legs over, such a shame
It's some things that I can't explain why
How have I become so accustomed to sayin'?
Certain things I never say

I'm bright-eyed, and when I think of you I
Might I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears, so
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're 'part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh, yeah

Oh, you got some big dreams?
I wish I could be there, but we no longer speak
I got some painful things built into my foundation
But I'd do it all again
And no matter what you say, at least I'm honest
It was just time for me to pick some better hobbies
This game only makes more problems
It's a evil reason
You could probably charge it

I'm bleedin' and nada
Have no one to blame (bleeding and)
Patience and balance but turned up the same
Eatin' the night up, keep walkin' this way
I'm beaten, I'm battered, reluctant to change, oh

Your legs over, such a shame
It's just some things I can't explain why (for the hundredth time)
And how have I become so accustomed to sayin' all these things I never say?

Pride, when I think of you I
Might I shed a tear?
You've been holdin' me down better than most of my fears
I'm proud of the differences in-between
When I was the reason that you felt seen
We're 'part of the same piece, so you keep doing this to me
Oh

You're taken none of shit from my life's tragedies
But this ain't as easy, you gotta come swingin'
We ain't no simple defeat, just you and me, I swear
