Album: The First Ten Years

Lately

Lately
Words by Shawn Mullins


Lately I've felt deep inside myself maybe something ain't right
I feel like I've been turned and put on the back burner
And there's no rescue in sight maybe I have changed
But you know I feel the same still got this hunger in my bones
I feel like an all night drive all the way to the other side
There's a place I used to call my home
Lately I've seen a different side of me I don't know where I have gone
I'm killin' friend and foe somebody tell me so I know
Whose side I am on like a cat stuck in a tree
I gotta jump before i'll be free I guess the ground will break my fall
Lately I've been lost gotta find me an albatross
To lead me back into my port of call hey I hey I
Got something to tell you hey I hey I never meant to hurt you
Gotta get my stuff and go gotta leave to free my soul
Lately I've been out of my head again
I don't know what I have found
I feel at home here I'm not alone here
Lot of messed up heads in this town
But I never drew one single word from you
You lay there hidden in the prone
I never proved to be anything but an oddity I guess I'm better of alone
Hey I hey I got something to tell you hey I hey I never meant to hurt you
Gotta get my stuff and go gotta leave to free my soul
