Already There
Alex Wilson
Description
A yearning, driving pop song about confronting the unknown and embracing change. 'Already There' captures the anticipation and vulnerability of being on the cusp of something new, whether it's a relationship, a personal transformation, or simply a leap of faith. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a late-night journey, both literal and metaphorical, where the destination is uncertain but the commitment is unwavering. The song blends introspective verses with an anthemic chorus, building to a cathartic bridge that resolves the tension between hope and fear.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Two lanes, midnight, dotted lines in Morse code Coffee gone cold, windshield’s got a hairline halo crack GPS keeps begging for a U-turn I won’t take Exit 17’s glowing like a promise or a trap Pre-Chorus White cross on the shoulder, radio preacher’s prayer, Says “choose a kind of heaven,” I’m not sure it’s there— Every sign is whispering, “Baby, don’t be scared…” Chorus Save me or break me, I’m past the point of care, One more mile of maybes, I’ll meet it in the glare, Either way it changes me, pull me, crash me, dare— I won’t know what you are till I’m already there. Post-Chorus Already there, already there, Ooh-ooh—already there. Already there, already there, Save me / wreck me / there. Verse 2 Motel sign is flicker-blue, it’s buzzing like a dare, Your name on my lock screen is a warning and a prayer, I count the broken promises like posts along the rail, If love is just a coin toss, let it land and tell— Pre-Chorus Headlights write a question, bright on borrowed air, I chase it through the static, breathing like a flare, Every fear is singing, “Baby, don’t you dare…” Chorus Save me or break me, I’m past the point of care, One more mile of maybes, I’ll meet it in the glare, Either way it changes me, pull me, crash me, dare— I won’t know what you are till I’m already there. Bridge If it’s grace, I’m open—if it’s flame, I’ll burn, If it’s just the same road teaching me to turn. If it’s every goodbye dressed up as a prayer, Let it find me honest—I’ll be already there. Chorus Save me or break me, I’m past the point of care, One more mile of maybes, I’ll meet it in the glare, Either way it changes me, pull me, crash me, dare— I won’t know what you are till I’m already there. Tag Save me or break me… I won’t know what you are till I’m already—there… there.
