Already Home

Aready Home You've started leaving things at mine A charger and a paperback The kind of book you said you'd finish Sometime around last January It lives beside my kettle now Which is where important things end up Next to the good mug And the spare key I haven't mentioned yet [Pre-Chorus] There's a domesticity to this That should probably scare me But mostly what I feel Is something closer to Oh So this is what the fuss was about [Chorus] I used to wonder what it looked like When people said they found their place Turns out it doesn't look like anything Grand or golden lit or out of place It looks like your shoes next to mine In no particular arrangement It looks like knowing how you take your tea Without asking It feels like already home Already home [Verse 2] We had an argument about directions You were right but took the scenic route To being right which added twenty minutes And a diner I now love unreasonably There's a booth we've claimed by repetition Third from the window, always the same sides The waitress stopped handing us menus Sometime in early May Which felt like the best Kind of recognition [Pre-Chorus] I keep finding evidence of us In unremarkable places A receipt, a photograph taken badly, Your handwriting on my grocery list Writing oat milk like it's obvious Which I suppose now It is [Chorus] I used to wonder what it looked like When people said they found their place Turns out it doesn't look like anything Grand or golden lit or out of place It looks like a badly taken photo That neither of us would delete It looks like knowing where the other is Without checking It feels like already home Already home [Bridge — Key Change, sunlit and open] May has this particular arrogance Where it assumes you'll be happy And the strange thing is You are You just are Without the usual effort Without the bracing for it I used to keep a careful distance From anything that felt too good Convinced that ease was just Another word for Before it goes wrong But your shoes are by my door And I bought the oat milk And it hasn't gone wrong yet And May is very long this year Very long And I am not bracing For anything [Verse 3] Last Sunday we did nothing Specifically and on purpose Horizontal and unhurried Like two people who've agreed That productivity is overrated And the light came through the curtain Doing that thing that light does When it has nowhere better to be And neither did we Neither did we [Final Chorus — Full, warm, certain] I used to wonder what it looked like Now I think I always knew It looks like nothing much from the outside And everything when it's you It looks like Sunday doing nothing It looks like light with nowhere to go It feels like something I stopped waiting for Because it's already here Already home Already home Already Home~ [Outro] Mm-mm-mm...
