Lagu ini menampilkan nuansa yang lembut dan introspektif dengan permainan gitar John Frusciante yang melodius dan nada bass Flea yang hangat melengkapi lirik reflektif Anthony Kiedis. Dengan alunan yang santai dan penyampaian yang emosional, "Lately" menangkap perpaduan khas band ini antara rock yang diresapi funk dan ekspresi yang menyentuh hati, menjadikannya permata tersembunyi dari era Californication.
Lirik Terjemahan
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
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
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
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
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 if all
Take more than your friends
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
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa
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
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 friends
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
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
