Before You Crossed the Room

Already Gone
Already Gone

Already Gone before you crossed the room
Already Gone, I made some space for new
You came back to a version of me that moved out
Already Gone, don't ask where I'm now

Coat-check ticket in my fingers
Dance floor hot, Friday loud
You walk in wearing old confidence
Like I've been waiting in this crowd
You scan the room until you find me
Smile like timing never broke
But I learned how to move without you
Before you learned to miss my coat

You aren't early enough
To be my second chance

Already Gone before you crossed the room
Already Gone, I made some space for new
You came back to a version of me that moved out
Already Gone, don't ask where I'm now

You wait beside the coat-check counter
I hand my ticket to a new friend
Tell her keep the jacket till closing
I'm not leaving when you intend
You thought one look would freeze the night
Like every old scene did before
But moving on isn't a sentence
It is dancing past the door

I used to need you to regret me
Now proof isn't what I need
You came back to a version of me that moved out
That coat-check ticket told the story

Already Gone, let the bass line roll
Already Gone, I got my own coat
You came back to a version of me that moved out
Already Gone, and I like it here now

Already Gone
