something 'bout you lately

i was stronger when you held me

and i was braver when you would tell me

you couldn't wait to see the man i would become

now at the table

an empty setting

and i remember without regretting

and i hope you see the man i have become

boxes in the basement

old dusty memories

but there's something 'bout you lately

that's close to me

i wear the jacket that you once gave me

and i walk the places you used to take me

and i remember that i'm the man you love

boxes in the basement

old dusty memories

but there's something 'bout you lately

that's close to me

you've gone before me

and it's hard for me to see

there's something 'bout you lately

oh something 'bout you lately

there's something 'bout you lately

that's close to me
