Lately
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Lyrics

Lately more or less I’m feeling less incomplete
Recently, I've been feeling somewhat better about myself, not feeling as if something important is missing.

I got no direction so I follow my feet
I feel like I have no clear path to follow, so I just go wherever my feet take me.

And when I think on everything my heart skips a beat
When I reflect on everything that's happened, it makes me feel anxious and uneasy.

It’ll come clean in the wash Know that much is true
Things have a way of working themselves out and becoming clearer in time.

You could not foresee that this would happen to you
You never could have predicted that you would end up in this situation.

Best to sit and wait until the sun’s breaking through
It's best to be patient and let things naturally improve, waiting until brighter times ahead.

Lately you’ve been talking and you don’t make no sense
Recently, you've been speaking incoherently and making little sense.

And from what you say she’s got your back to the fence
From what I understand, she's put you in a difficult position with few options.

And from what I see it’s hard for you to find strength
Based on my observations, you're struggling to find the inner strength to overcome this challenge.

What do you need?
What exactly is it that you require?

What’s the hurry?
Why do you feel the need to rush things?

And ain’t it cruel when people are unkind
It's an unfortunate reality that individuals can be deliberately unkind.

What’s the fear?
What is it that you're afraid of?

What’s the worry?
What is causing you to worry?

Move forward now and leave the past behind
It's time to move on from the past and focus on the present and future.

You could wish your whole life through
You could spend your entire life wishing for something to happen.

Be a sleepy John
You could be content with the bare minimum and just be satisfied with being idle.

Choose your favourite poison on the way to get gone
It's up to you to decide which self-destructive behavior you want to follow on your way towards leaving this world.

If that’s what you’re thinking then I got to move on
If that's the mindset you're embracing, then I need to move on from this situation.

Lately I’ve been looking out for bells when they ring
Recently, I've been eagerly anticipating the sounds of victory and triumph when they come.

Bells for you and bells for me, a beautiful thing
It's a beautiful prospect that we could both experience the sweet sounds of achievement ringing.

Been a long time coming soon my ship will come in
It's been a while, but it won't be too much longer before I finally reach my destination and achieve my goals.
