[Intro] (hammond organ swell, brushed snare enters softly with room sound, 4 bars, no guitar yet) [Verse 1] I made the coffee dark the way you take it Your boots still where you left them by the door You came down humming something you don't remember A song from a summer we don't talk about anymore The kitchen window's got a crack from the winter We swore we'd fix it in the spring We never did, and somehow that's the thing That tells me everything [Pre-Chorus] I used to wait for the love I prayed for Now I wake up in the middle of it God's been good and you've been better And I'm finally brave enough to admit [Chorus] I'm already home I'm already home The porch light's still on but it's on for me now This is the place I was looking for all along I quit chasing what I already found I'm already home I'm already home with you [Verse 2] You held my hand in a hospital hallway You held it again at the lake last June And the Tuesday nights that no one writes about Are the ones I'd take back to if I could choose There's a picture of us I keep on the dresser Younger and dumber and sure of nothing at all And I look at that girl and I want to tell her honey, you have no idea [Pre-Chorus] I used to wait for the love I prayed for Now I wake up in the middle of it God's been good and you've been better And I'm finally brave enough to say it [Chorus] I'm already home I'm already home The porch light's still on but it's on for me now This is the place I was looking for all along I quit chasing what I already found I'm already home I'm already home with you [Bridge] (stripped to acoustic guitar and voice only) My mama used to ask me when I'd settle down I never knew the question had an answer 'til now It wasn't a town and it wasn't a man It was a Tuesday morning learning how to stand In a kitchen that already felt like mine And you, just being kind, just being kind [Chorus] (half-step lift, full band, gospel harmonies and gang vocal enter) I'm already home (I'm already home) I'm already home (I'm already home) The porch light's on and it's on for both of us This is the place we were looking for all along We quit chasing what we already found [Outro] (naked voice, room sound only, hard cut at end) I'm already home I'm already home I'm already home with you
