We're Already There

The Wallflowers

Quarter moon on a city growing thick

With good advice that won't stick

From the ballrooms to the suburbs and the abandoned mines

Atlantis may be rising but we're all out of time

The colored lights on the fire escape

And bodies move behind drapes

And the light is uneven and we're safer in pairs

We're no match for what is waiting for each of us out there

Whistle baby while we walk

And don't say anything, do not talk

The journey is over, it is time to exhale

Wherever we were going, we're already there

It's over the turnstiles, through the guardrails

And into Washington Square

'Cause no amount of nightmares could ever compare

To the thought of only silence in this ghost-filled air

Whistle baby while we walk

Now don't say anything, do not talk

The journey is over, it's too late to prepare

Why can't you see that baby, we're already there

Here comes your silhouette and more pillow talk

Here comes the ticking of these clocks

They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose

Another chamber locks and I already withdrew

Here comes the booming in the hunger of each night

Here comes the burden of might

Now this day was not divinely made to leave you impressed

We may become someone someday but we haven't yet

Whistle baby while we walk

Now don't say anything, do not talk

The journey is over, it is time to repair

Whatever we were building

Baby, we're already there

We're already there

We're already there

We're already there
