Lyrics
Lately
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
CHORUS
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what you're doing
Yeah lately
You look around
You're wondering what you're seeing
What you're doing
The taste of 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
CHORUS
I never knew much
Enough was enough
The reasons were not always there
But the look in your eyes
Hides the surprise
I would never have counted on this
CHORUS
