John Frusciante
Lately
[Verse 1]
On the corner into my car
I drive forever, never get far
The .45 is slowly getting loaded
I send another song to my star

[Pre-Chorus]
California mountains in the morning
Stitch it up, and get it all
All along the woman's got a warning
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement, get it all
Take more than your

[Interlude]
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

[Verse 2]
A pendulum inside of my head
Swinging low, I hope to get hit
The overflow is slow, but not enough, no
Another drop will never fix it

[Pre-Chorus]
California mountains in the morning
Get along, and get it all
All along the woman's got a warning
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement, get it all
Take more than your faith
[Chorus]
If I call you lately
I could be your man, I could be your greatness
If I call you lately
I could be your man

[Interlude]
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa

[Verse 3]
I shut it down, the look in my eyes
Knock 'em dead a-covered in flies
The big sleep without a bed of roses
The light of day will never tell lies

[Pre-Chorus]
All along the woman's got a warning
Stitch it up, and get it all
California mountains in the morning
Stitch it up, and get it all
We all walk your pavement
Take more than your faith

[Chorus]
If I call you lately
I could be your man, I could be your greatness
If I call you lately
I could be your man
[Outro]
On the river into my dock
I paddle through the shadow and fog
To ponder all of those who came before me
Another piece for building my arch
