[Verse 1] You still drift through certain melodies Sunday mornings, old records spinning slow For a while I thought the room remembered you More than I ever wanted it to know I kept saving conversations in my head Changing endings that were never really mine A heart can mistake a wish for destiny When it’s only filling in the lines [Pre-Chorus] Then one morning, without warning Your name didn’t steal the air I smiled at the memory And left it sitting there [Chorus] I’m already gone Didn’t even notice I was moving on Somewhere between midnight and the morning light You stopped living in my favorite song I’m already free Your shadow doesn’t fit these days on me Turns out forever wasn’t what I needed after all I was holding on alone Now I’m already gone [Verse 2] I still hear your favorite saxophone café But now it sounds like someone else’s scene Every little place that used to pull me back Feels lighter than it’s ever been Guess a heart’s like jazz—it finds another way Taking wrong notes somewhere beautiful instead What I thought was losing was just making space For the life that’s waiting up ahead [Pre-Chorus] Now the skyline keeps on changing Every color feels brand new The world got bigger When it stopped revolving around you [Chorus] I’m already gone Didn’t even notice I was moving on Somewhere between midnight and the morning light You stopped living in my favorite song I’m already free Your shadow doesn’t fit these days on me Turns out forever wasn’t what I needed after all I was holding on alone Now I’m already gone [Bridge] Here’s to almosts Here’s to maybe someday Here’s to learning not every beautiful thing has to stay Here’s to open windows Empty chairs that don’t feel cold Turns out letting go Feels a little like coming home [Final Chorus] I’m already gone Now the soundtrack has a different kind of swing Every ending found a better melody Waiting quietly for me I’m already here Finally hearing my own voice crystal clear You were just one chapter in a story still unfolding long after the fall And if we meet someday I’ll smile and mean it when I say Thank you for the song Then I’ll keep dancing on.
