Lately

(Album: Roadhouse 02 - 2022)

I see the world
In a red dress spinning
Sucking on a candy
The room is spinning

Falling all over myself
I didn't say that it's somebody else
I haven't been me lately
Falling all over myself
I didn't say that it's somebody else
I haven't been me lately

I know a monster
A selfish little killer
Folks talk about her
No one has seen her

Falling all over myself
I didn't say that it's somebody else
I haven't been me lately
Falling all over myself
I didn't say that it's somebody else
I haven't been me lately

If I ever said it, I never even meant it, I
If I ever said it, I never even meant it, I
Took too much for granted, I
Seemed to even plan it, I
Thought I'd do it, I
Didn't do it, I
She thought I'd do, I

(Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em)
Tell 'em you don't need no company
It's me and Allan watching over me
I felt this way since here in Tennessee
That type of shit just don't get old to me
So I'm alive and now I've changed my life
Not afraid to close my eyes at night
Not afraid of who I want to be
Now that Allan's watching over me

(Dear Allan, why does loving me mean the death of you?)

I used to think
Good got better
I put my better face on
I'd feel better
I'd feel strong
I am the shine
I am the better man
I am the song
I go wherever I want
I am the list
I am the bottom line
I am the pen
I sign wherever I want
I used to think
Good got better
I put my better face on
I'd feel better
I'd feel strong
I'd feel better
I'd feel strong
