Lyrics

[Intro]
The drawer sticks halfway, like it always does
And there she is, nineteen, in the rain

[Verse 1]
Rain shine on the concrete, yellow line, one step over
Somebody caught me laughing with my whole face out of focus
Bought that ticket in the morning, never told a single person
Nobody at the other end, and that was half the reason

[Hook]
I was already gone before the shutter closed
Standing with one foot on the step and one on the road
Don't ask me where I landed, don't ask what I chose
I was already gone before the shutter closed

[Verse 2]
Now I've got a calendar that knows me better than I do
Coffee at the same hour, same street, same view
Found the stub behind the batteries, soft at all the folds
Never got it punched, so technically it holds

[Hook]
I was already gone before the shutter closed
Standing with one foot on the step and one on the road
Don't ask me where I landed, don't ask what I chose
I was already gone before the shutter closed

[Breakdown]
She's not haunting me
She's daring me

[Verse 3]
The board flips over, all those letters falling into place
I can hear the engine underneath the floor
I don't miss that girl, I owe her, and she's calling in the debt
Keys in my hand, I'm not asking anymore

[Final Chorus]
I'm already gone before the shutter closes
One foot on the step and I don't care where it goes
Don't ask me where I'm landing, I don't have to know
I'm already gone before the shutter closes
(Already gone, already gone)
I'm already gone before the shutter closes

[Outro]
The drawer sticks halfway
I left it open
