Already Gone
Already Gone: Unraveling Love's Echoes in the Backwoods
Lyrics
Meet me in the backwoods, we're going after dark
Invitation to meet in a secluded place at night
We're digging a hole in the ground, there's no need to worry at all
Engaging in a secretive activity without concern
You ask too many questions like, "who's it for?" etcetera
Addressing someone who asks too many questions
C'mon, you must know you're already gone
Acknowledging the person is already emotionally detached
Just think back to Bacharach & chocolate-covered strawberries
Recalling shared memories of Bacharach & strawberries
Since you seem to think it's our only good memory
Noting disagreement about the significance of a memory
You say you've been done around here
Claiming the person has been mistreated in the past
No need to repeat, you've made it perfectly clear
Emphasizing that the message is clear and doesn't need repetition
That you're already gone
Reiterating that the emotional departure has already occurred
Yeah it's a shame that we're shacked up
Expressing regret about the current living arrangement
The headache's enough to make me wonder
Considering the possibility of ending the relationship
Would it be easier to leave?
Questioning if leaving would be a simpler solution
But I've made up my mind & I'm dead set on getting over you
Deciding firmly to move on from the relationship
& there's no way to come back
Stating that there's no way to return to the past
To come back home to you
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning home emotionally
Shaking like a leaf now, gearing up to do the deed
Describing nervousness and preparation for a significant action
I'm making up excuses like, "what about her family?"
Creating excuses, questioning the impact on the partner's family
I'll just say it's a little unclear
Admitting uncertainty about the situation
That, "it's not unlike her to just disappear..."
Suggesting a pattern of disappearing behavior
That you were already gone
Reaffirming the emotional disconnection
Yeah it's a shame that we're shacked up
Repeating regret about the current living arrangement
The headache's enough to make me wonder
Reiterating the impact of the situation on well-being
Would it be easier to leave?
Questioning if leaving would be a simpler solution (repeated)
But I've made up my mind & I'm dead set on getting over you
Reaffirming the decision to move on from the relationship (repeated)
& there's no way to come back
Stating the impossibility of returning to the past (repeated)
To come back home to you
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning home emotionally (repeated)
