I'm Already There Rewrite

    The chorus of Lonestar's "I'm Already There" is great, but I've never liked the verses.
   In particular, not after Aaron Kelly sang it on Idol a few years ago. So, I rewrote it.

Verse 1-

He called her on the phone

From his lonely, cold hotel room

She said "Don't worry about me, I'll be all right.

I know you're on the road, and that you need to be there,

Still, I wish that you were home."

Chorus 1-

He said "I'm already there,

Take a look around,

I'm the picture on the wall,

In our things, both big and small,

Can you feel the love that we share?

I'm already there."

Verse 2-

This only made him more depressed

As he let out a sigh,

He hung up the phone and sent up a prayer

And then it seemed like to him, in the darkness he was in

As his soul gave a cry, he could hear this reply:

Chorus 2-

"I'm already there,

Take a look around,

In your wife and your friends,

Your Bible, the CDs in your car,

You're never alone, I died for your sins,

And I'm allowing these things,

So that you willl grow,

And know I care,

I'm already there."

Verse 3-

She was feeling sad and lonely, and yes, depressed too

As she typed an email to her boyfriend

She said "I'm not feeling good, and I need to know you care,

I just can't wait, til you can transfer here next year

Then I'll gently kiss your lips, touch you with my fingertips...PLEASE, JUST GET HERE FAST!!!"

Chorus 3-

In reply, he said the first thing that came to his mind:

"I'm already there.

Don't cry, calm down.

I'm with you when you sleep, or when you walk across town

Try to hang on, I'll be there soon

I really care, in a way I'm already there

Bridge-

We may be a thousand miles apart

But I'll be with you, wherever you are

Chorus 4-

I'm already there, I'm all around

I'm the sunshine in your hair, I'm the shadow on the ground

I'm the text on your phone, I love you, my friend,

You're always in my prayers

I've got to go now, but believe this I swear

With all of my heart

That I'm already there."
