already there

Jasmine Thompson

Got a job at a dead-end place
I was happy just gettin' paid
Started smokin' ten years too late
Didn't know life could change that way
When we met in the bar right when your friends were leavin'
Stay 'til last orders, talkin' 'til 3 a. m
Asked me to meet you at Bloomsbury Square

Look, baby, I'm already there

I was thrown by your childish ways
How you'd laugh when I'd make mistakes
How we'd go without sleep for days
Ain't no hope in me thinkin' straight
Forward five weeks, I'm in your parents' kitchen
Your mom talks a lot and your dad does the dishes
You tell me that nothin' has ever compared

Well, baby, I'm already there

Oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh, ooh, mm, hmm, mm

Got a place way too small for two
But you said it's enough for you
Found a staircase up to the roof
To this day it's my favorite view
'Cause you looked up and finished the beer you were drinkin'
Takin' my hand, I could tell what you're thinkin'
You said, "I love you" for once I'm not scared

'Cause baby, I'm already there

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh, ooh, mm, hmm, mm

Second summer we spent apart
Sleepin' underneath different stars
They all said it'd be really hard
But I think that distance made our hearts grow fonder
'Cause I called and cried, I can't take any longer
As I look out the window, it's worth it, I swear

'Cause baby, I'm already there

Baby, I'm already there
Mm-hmm, baby, I'm already there
Baby, I'm already there
