Already There Lyrics

she sat across the car from me
her eyes were fixed out the window, my hand on her knee and the road like the arms of a giant stretched out in front of me
through the fields where the farmers keep farmer's gold
a wooden box in the ground

i was counting the lights, and you were already there
i was fearing the night, yeah you were waiting for me
it's just hard when you're right, you were already there
it's a never-ending night, you were waiting for me

we made friends with the southern winds
the blowing leaves, and the money we spent
and the road, stuck to the earth like a magnet
roll down where the river bends
you can swim where the sinners spend sinner's gold
it all gets lost in the ocean

i was counting the lights, and you were already there
i was fearing the night, yeah you were waiting for me
it's just hard when you're right, you were already there
it's a never-ending night, you were waiting for me
we'll get it wrong, till we're able to correct all the wrongs
yeah, we're able

she sat across the car from me
her eyes were fixed out the window, my hand on her knee
and the road, stuck to the earth like a magnet
roll down where the river bends
you can swim where the sinners spend sinner's gold
it all gets lost in the ocean

i was counting the lights
i was fearing the night
it's just hard when you're right
it's a never-ending fight, yeah you were waiting for me

i was counting the lights, and you were already there
i was fearing the fight, yeah you were waiting for me
it's just hard when you're right, you were already there
it's a never-ending night, yeah you were waiting for me
yeah you were waiting for me
