lately Lyrics

Lately

Everybody in my life has been changing

Am I the only one that's still star gazing

Is this what it means to grow up

Lately

Everybody has a job in the city

They're working nine to five and dinner's eight thirty

But I'm still around with my folks

I grew up believing that practice makes perfect

My mama she told me that one day you'll see it

These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams

So maybe it's time for me

Lately

I'm feeling kinda sick of having no money

It's hard to pay the bills when nobody's paying you

For your dedication to your art

Lately

I saw another friend make it to the big leagues

I gotta say I wasn't happy for him at all

Someone who's never worked half as hard as me

Cuz I grew up believing that talent was only half of it

My mama she told me to work hard and you'll make it

These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams

So maybe it's time for me

Guess I'll never have it all

Cuz I grew up believing that dreams become reality

My mama she told me to make my dreams come true

But these days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams

So maybe it's time for me
