Lately

Lately, I've been planting flowers
And watching movies
Trying to keep my mind occupied
They say it takes ten thousand hours
So, I'm learning Beethoven's sonatas
One measure at a time
But the truth is, baby you

You've been on my mind, on my mind, on my mind lately
When I say lately, I mean every second since you've been gone
No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time
Ooh, yeah, lately, you've been on my mind (ooh)

Lately, I've been walking circles around my neighborhood
And reading Dostoevsky at night
Watercolors, jigsaw puzzles, hmm
Any kind of distraction that I can find

'Cause you've been on my mind, on my mind, on my mind lately
When I say lately, I mean every second since you've been gone
No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time
Ooh, yeah, lately, you've been on my mind

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, yeah, lately, you've been on my mind

Lately, I stare at your number
Wish I was able to
Just call up and tell you
Ooh, ooh, ooh

You've been on my mind, on my mind, on my mind lately
When I say lately, I mean every second since you've been gone
No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time, every time
'Cause lately, you've been on my mind
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Lately, you've been on my mind

(Ooh, ooh)
Lately, you've been on my mind
