Dalam lagu "Already There" karya Goo Goo Dolls, sang narator merenungkan rasa kerinduan terhadap masa muda yang penuh kesederhanaan dan perasaan senang. Saat mengamati salju yang turun dari jendelanya, dia teringat masa-masa di mana kehidupan berjalan lebih mudah. Namun, seiring bertambahnya usia, waktu bergulir dengan cepat dan dia melihat teman-temannya bertambah tua, sementara dirinya masih merasa muda. Lagu ini mengekspresikan pergulatan batin sang narator saat dia menghadapi perjalanan hidup dan keinginan untuk tetap berpegangan pada masa lalu.
Already There Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
I look outside my window,e verything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun
I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Turn around and face the clock
I sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up, my friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above, wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds will someday just collide
I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Just a boy who's young at heart, his smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife, never had to go astray
Happiness evolved, life was in full swing at 17
All the things he wanted were things he'd never seen
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking 'bout the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun
I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Turn around and face the clock
I sit and watch, as time went hoppin' by
I'm still growing up, my friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above, wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds will someday just collide
I couldn't care, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
Just a boy who's young at heart, his smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife, never had to go astray
Happiness evolved, life was in full swing at 17
All the things he wanted were things he'd never seen
It don't seem fair, cuz I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there
