Lately You’ve Been on My Mind

Chorus: 
You can’t go back, but still we try 
makin’ sense of what we left behind.
May never know the reason why,
but lately you’ve been on my mind.

This afternoon we reminisce
Beneath a grey but shifting sky.
Elastic band around your wrist.
A crowd of strangers drifting by.

(I don’t think I know quite why)
(but lately, you’ve been on my mind) 

The homeless in their Sunday best.
That flavor in a yogurt spoon.
The moments of our lives, compressed,
to savor in an afternoon.

-CHORUS-

A peal of bells across the street.
The taste of coffee on our tongues,
Like feelings warm and bittersweet.
This place, it fills our hearts and lungs.

(I don’t think I know quite why)
(but lately, you’ve been on my mind) 

Remember what we did before,
a mystery that’s fixed in time.
Uncovered hints as we explore
and mix your history with mine.

-CHORUS- 

(I don’t think I know quite why)
(but lately, you’ve been on my mind) 

(lately, you’ve been)
(on my mind)
