Lyrics
Lately
I have a picture
I crave a memory
What I'm supposed to be
I keep on digging
I need more dynamite
None of my clothes fit right
Lately
I got a year older
The weather got colder
Turned off my TV
Found something else to do
It's not the first time
I lost my parachute
I let the strings untie
Lately
I've come to my senses
Stopped putting up fences
And taking photographs
Trying to make it last
Lately
I got a year older
The weather got colder
Tried not to think of you
But there's nothing left to do
Lately
Lately
Lately
