Lately
Sam Palladio feat. Clare Bowen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been needing you lately
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 wanna 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

Out on this road
My wheels just roll
I've always (I've always) been yours
But I feel it even more
Lately, lately
Lately, lately

I feel like a stranger in this place
I wanna see your face

I've been needing you
I've been needing you
I've been missing you




I've been missing you lately
Missing you lately

Overall Meaning

The song Lately by Sam Palladio feat. Clare Bowen portrays a feeling of loneliness and longing for someone lost. The singer seems to be driving aimlessly, searching for the person they are missing, but unable to find them. The lyrics highlight their feeling of being a stranger in their surroundings without the person they are searching for. The chorus reinforces this sense of needing and missing the person, saying "I've been needing you lately, I've been missing you lately."


The second verse reveals that the singer calls out the person's name, hoping they can hear them. This adds an aspect of desperation to the song that enhances the mood of loneliness and longing. The bridge continues to build on this mood, with the singer saying that they have always belonged to the person they are missing, but now they feel that even more deeply. Overall, Lately is a poignant and bittersweet song about missing someone deeply and searching for them in vain.
