You've been thinking bout me on the daily
Ever since you met me, we were 16 and day dreams

It was lovely
So lovely
Oh baby

and you miss me
Its always my name in your history
So lovely

We could get together and it would be alright
The thought had never crossed my mind
Untill we started trippin and you rolled in my life
Oh

The song “Lovely” by Divided Minds is about a nostalgia-filled memory of a past love interest that seems to resurface periodically. The lyrics suggest that the two met at the age of 16 and had no luck, but they enjoyed each other's company, which was “lovely”. The singer is puzzled why the other person tells everyone that they hate him, yet they still call him after getting tipsy and miss him, and he always appears in their history. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks the other person to get down with him, and they don't need to waste any time. They could get together, and it will be alright.
In the second verse, the singer’s friends start noticing some suspicious behavior from the other person. The person has been drinking heavily and behaving inappropriately by stripping naked in the back yard, almost as if they were famous. The singer is confused and hurt by this behavior and asks the other person why they act like that, realizing that they are incompatible.
The song is about looking back on past idealized relationships and examining them through the lens of the present. It shows how the memory of the past love teaches one the lessons of compatibility and forgiveness. With its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus, “Lovely” serves to remind us to cherish the simple, carefree moments of life.

You've been thinking bout me on the daily
You've been constantly having me on your mind every single day
Ever since you met me, we were 16 and day dreams
From the moment we met as 16-year-olds, we've been dreaming together
we had no luck we had nothing
We didn't have much going for us in life at that time
It was lovely
However, our situation was still beautiful in its own way
Why you tellin everyone you hate me
I'm confused as to why you've been spreading the word that you don't like me
Then turn around and call me when you're tipsy
But then you call me after having a few drinks
and you miss me
And you express that you miss me
Its always my name in your history
It seems like I'm a constant presence in your past
Lets get down
Let's get intimate
We dont gotta waste no time
We don't need to delay this any longer
We could get together and it would be alright
We could be together and everything would work out just fine
The thought had never crossed my mind
I never thought about being with you like this before
Untill we started trippin and you rolled in my life
But then you came into my life and things started to change
My friends been telling me you're acting shady
My friends have been warning me that you're being untrustworthy
Been going to hard drinking getting faded till youre naked
You've been partying too hard and getting undressed to an excessive degree
In the back yard like you're famous
You're acting like a celebrity in the backyard
Now why you got to act that way
Why are you behaving in such an inappropriate way?
Lets get down
Let's get intimate
We dont gotta waste no time
We don't need to delay this any longer
Lovely
Being with you could still be beautiful
We could get together
We could become a couple
Don't waste no time
Let's not let any more time go to waste
Oh
Expressing a strong emotion of passion or excitement
