Been By Now Lyrics
No need to act surprised, I've seen it in your eyes
I feel it when we lie here, worlds apart
It's easier to stay, it's easier to say
That there's gon' come a day it won't be this hard
Nah, we don’t even fight like we used to
We don't even care 'nough to cry no more
It's been a hundred nights since I knew you
How long we gonna keep lookin' at that door?
If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out
Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down
It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark
If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up
Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much
I know you wanna think that it's what we found
But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
Been by now
If I could go and find, the moment or the night, my heart went cold as ice, I'd light the match
Don't wanna draw the line, don't wanna say goodbye
But we're just wastin' time, girl, that we don't have
If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out
Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down
It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark
If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up
Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much
I know you wanna think that it's what we found
But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
Been by now
Nah, we don’t even fight like we used to
We don't even care 'nough to cry no more
It's been a hundred nights since I knew you
And I can't spend another lookin' at that door
If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
We wouldn't have to keep tryna work things out
Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down
It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark
If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up
Yeah, maybe from the start, we've been tryin' too much
I know you wanna think that it's what we found
But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now
Been by now
Been by now
Meaning of Been By Now
“Been By Now” captures the painful realization that a once-promising love has run its course, steeped in regret and quiet desperation. Morgan Wallen lays bare the disillusionment of a relationship clinging to fading hope, acknowledging the distance – both emotional and physical – that’s grown between them. The repeated refrain, “If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now,” underscores the feeling of wasted time and missed opportunity, suggesting they’ve spent too long trying to force something that wasn’t destined to last. There’s a weary acceptance of their situation, illustrated by the lack of arguments or tears, hinting at a profound loss of passion. Ultimately, the song is a melancholic reflection on unfulfilled potential and the heartbreaking truth that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, certain connections simply run their course, leaving behind only echoes of what could have been.
