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 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 been gone

No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time

Oh yeah, lately you been on my mind

Lately, I been walking circles around my neighborhood

And reading Dostoevsky at night

Watercolors, jigsaw puzzles

Any kind of distraction that I can find

'Cause you been on my mind, on my mind, on my mind lately

When I say lately, I mean every second since you been gone

No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time, oh yeah

Lately, you been on my mind

Ooh yeah, lately, you been on my mind

Lately, I stare at your number

Wish I was able to

Just call up and tell you

When I say lately, I mean every second since you been gone

No matter what I do, it all comes back to you every time, every time

'Cause lately you been on my mind

<span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:56.112" end="3:02.262">(Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, yeah)</span></span> <span begin="3:02.341" end="3:05.952">Lately you've been on my mind</span>

Lately, you've been on my mind
