Lately
Clare Bowen & Sam Palladio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the sun goes down
I don't know where to find you
So, I just drive around
I feel like a stranger in this place
I want to see your face
I've been needing you
I've been needing you lately
I've been missing you lately
Things just aren't the same
All I'm feeling is lonely
Sometimes I call out your name
I want so bad to believe
Somehow you can hear me
I've been missing you
I've been missing you lately
I'm on this road, my wheels just roll on
I've always been yours
But I feel it even more
Lately (lately)
Lately (lately)
I feel like a stranger in this place
I want to see your face
I have been needing you
I have been needing you
I have been missing you
I have been missing you lately
