Lyrics
ALREADY THERE
Verse 1 Even in junior high, I already knew…
I need to touch you like my eyes do,
I made up a silly game so I could kiss you for a win…
…you didn’t run, you leaned in again–
I’ve always known it’s been you all the while…
‘Cause I loved you way back then when you turned
and smiled…
Bridge I knew right then, I did I swear,
I’m not choosing when to love, I’m already there…
Chorus I have chased the sun around, walked on water I have found,
You don’t have to say hello, I’m already there,
I still look in those eyes of yours & see what I am looking for,
The sun rose in the sky today, but I’m already there…
Verse 2 The way your hands move on me now,
Imagine where we’ll be tomorrow…
‘Cause I’m feeling heat starting to rise
So pull me close, you’ll see in my eyes–
The way you smile is how I begin
To feel this safe each time I surrender again…
Bridge I knew right then, I did I swear,
I’m not choosing when to love, I’m already there…
Chorus I have chased the sun around, walked on water I have found,
You don’t have to say hello, I’m already there,
I still look in those eyes of yours & see what I am looking for,
The sun rose in the sky today, but I’m already there…
