Already Had It Lyrics – Tucker Wetmore

[Verse 1: Tucker Wetmore] In the first verse, Wetmore contemplates how his ex-partner has been away for months, possibly missing the familiarity and comfort of their past life together. He acknowledges that while the city might have its attractions, it is not the same as the country life she left behind. The verse ends with Wetmore’s casual acknowledgment of his own contentment with a simple, laid-back lifestyle.

[Chorus: Tucker Wetmore] The chorus paints a vivid picture of contrasting lifestyles. Wetmore imagines his ex living in a high-rise apartment, surrounded by everything she thought she wanted. Meanwhile, he finds satisfaction in the rural simplicity, sipping a Yellow Jacket beer by a pond. He firmly believes that the grass is not always greener and that the true sweetness lies in the natural beauty and slower pace of the country. The chorus underscores the idea that his ex already had the best life, even if she did not realize it at the time.

[Verse 2: Tucker Wetmore] In the second verse, Wetmore reflects on what his ex-partner left behind. He describes her as having had a golden opportunity, which she wasted by leaving. He emphasizes that the city life, with its concrete landscapes, cannot compare to the natural beauty and authenticity of the countryside. This verse highlights Wetmore’s conviction that she made a mistake by trading their rural life for urban dreams.

[Bridge: Tucker Wetmore] The bridge reinforces the chorus's message by reminiscing about the best moments they shared, which he believes were the peak of what she could have experienced. Wetmore asserts that although she might long for those times again, it is too late because she already had the best life she could ever have.

[Chorus: Tucker Wetmore] The final chorus reiterates the contrast between the high-rise apartment and the country life, driving home the point that true happiness and fulfillment were found in the simple pleasures of their past. Wetmore’s conviction that his ex already had the best life, paired with the repeated line "I'd wish you the best, but you already had it," serves as a poignant conclusion to the song's narrative.

[Outro: Tucker Wetmore] The outro echoes the sentiment of the chorus, reinforcing the idea that the best experiences and happiness were already a part of their past life together, which she left behind. Wetmore’s repeated assertion that she already had it underlines the finality of his realization and acceptance of their different paths.
