Recently

The lyrics describe a new, intense relationship between two people who feel unusually happy and alive together. At first, the speaker focuses on small, ordinary moments with the woman; later, the song emphasizes their closeness, shared outings, and hope for more. Their growing confidence comes from choosing to enjoy one another rather than letting strangers’ attention control them.

The repeated image of people staring suggests that the couple feels watched or judged, though the lyrics do not explain why. Their response—ignoring the onlookers until they “go away”—can mean refusing to give public attention power over their private relationship. The woman’s phrase about letting other people’s eyes do the worrying is a playful way to say that strangers’ opinions are not the couple’s responsibility. Quiet places, where they can be alone, contrast with the public gaze.

The song presents love as both tender and openly physical: they watch familiar routines, kiss, hold each other, and look forward to continuing. “Recently” conveys freshness, as if this feeling is new or newly recognized, but the lyrics do not specify exactly what has changed. The repeated phrases create a buoyant, almost insistent mood; beneath that excitement, the need to ignore staring hints that being together may bring discomfort or scrutiny.
