About This Track

'Lately' by tendai is a 2022 track in which the lyrics hover around doubt, reassurance, and the desire not to be left alone at night. The speaker addresses someone who seems to be carrying a feeling, urges honesty, and wonders why they will not call, repeating that they have been thinking. The vocal approach leans into insistence and worry, with a short, broken refrain pattern in the verses that underlines mental looping and frustration. One line sums up the mood of impatience and want: “Why you just don’t call me.”

"Lately" is a track by tendai, released 1st March 2022. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about tendai.

Lyrics

Lately

[Verse 1]

I know you got a feeling on your mind

I just wanna make it easy, girl, don't lie

I-I-I-I been thinkin' how you just don't know why

You don't want me to be alone at night

You wanna say you need me one more time

I-I-I-I been thinkin'

[Pre-Chorus]

Why you just don't call me when you sorry

Teach me just how you wanna freak when you naughty

Please, baby, won't you make a way for you and me?

But if not, girl, there's nothing wrong with make-believe

[Chorus]

'Cause I know that lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

[Verse 2]

Fine

Guess you wanna be on defense all your life

Well, you better stop holdin' onto me and say goodbye, bye, bye

Keep talkin', I can almost see the lies

Outta your mouth, I can see it in your eyes, eyes, eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

So just call me when you sorry

Teach me just how you wanna freak when you naughty

Please, baby, won't you make a way for you and me?

But if not, girl, there's nothing wrong with make-believe

[Chorus]

'Cause I know that lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)

Lately I been dreamin' of your love (Dreamin' of your—)
