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 wish 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 Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, hmm, hmm, hmm 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, hmm, hmm 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 Hmm, baby, I'm already there Baby, I'm already there
