Lyrics

Lately

I never knew much

Enough was enough

The reasons were not always there

But the look in your eyes

Hides that surprise

I would never have counted on this

Well lately

You look around

You're wondering what your doing

Yeah lately

You look around

Your wondering what you seeing

What your doing

The taste of your freedom

Was sweeter than love

Cause you never had a chance to live

Your blue sky calls

To seduce and bewitch

And give you the wings of your fate

Well lately

You look around

You're wondering what your doing

Yeah lately

You look around

Your wondering what you seeing

What your doing

I never knew much
