Lately
Jason LoCricchio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when we first met
We fell in love with all our new feelings
Staying up till the late A.M.
And counting all the times we broke even
I remember when you first said
"I've never told anyone my secrets"
Those were the better days
Better days

Better days

I want you to know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately
I've been caught in all your wonder
It's driving me crazy
And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you
I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately

And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you
I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately

I remember when you first called
You made friends with all my new feelings
Making love in the bathroom stall
And counting all our fears and our demons
Remember when we didn't care at all
About what we had to lose

Those were the better days
Better days
Better days

I want you to know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately
I've been caught in all your wonder
It's driving me crazy
And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you
I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately

And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you
I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately

Come close
I've never loved someone like
You ever before
Come close
I've never loved someone like
You ever before

I want you to know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately
I've been caught in all your wonder
It's driving me crazy
And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you
I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately

And if I belong to someone
I still think I belong to you

I want you t know that i've been
Thinkin' bout you lately
