Lately Lyrics - Soul Asylum

In the fog lights 

There was tear gas floating through the twilight 

And he wondered what life would be like 

With a giant screen TV, a fridge full of beer 

And a conscience that's clean 

See lately 

She'd been thinking about her little tiny baby 

And the boy who had gone to defend me 

She's a good friend of mine 

But I can't take the place of her man anytime 

And it won't be long till he's coming home 

You gotta bring your soldier home 

When all those stones have all been thrown 

Gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid 

And hope he can live with whatever he did 

Now meanwhile 

He was reading magazines on the front line 

He was trying not to think about her life 

And what he might have done 

'Cause it seemed like neither one of them 

Were having any fun 

See lately 

She'd been acting kinda crazy lately 

Oh man, I thought she was gonna hate me 

'Cause I couldn't watch her little one 

I had so much to do, I was so high strung 

And it won't be long till daddy's home 

You gotta bring your soldier home 

When all those stones have all been thrown 

You gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid 

And hope he can live with whatever he did 

And lately, all the hate escapes me 

And lately all the hate just escapes me lately 

So he phoned her 

He said, "Darling, I've been feeling so alone here 

Am I making myself perfectly clear 

And I'm on my way back just a couple more missions 

And I start getting packed" 

You gotta bring your soldier home 

When all those stones have all been thrown 

Gotta give, get a chance to get a look at his kid 

And hope he can live with whatever he did 

Lately I was wondering if she heard from him lately 

Oh, lately I was wondering if she heard from him lately
