I really like Lonestar's "I'm Already There", but after hearing a guy named Aaron Kelly sing it on American Idol, it seemed like the verses didn't quite work for that sort of show; it's too much of a story song. So I set about trying to find something that might could work a bit better.
Verse One -
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 out there
Still, I wish you were home..."
Chorus One -
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 Two -
This only made him more depressed
And as he let out a sigh
He hung up the phone and his heart gave a cry
And then it seemed like to him
In the darkness he was in
It was like he could hear this reply:
Chorus Two -
"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 will grow
And know that I care
I'm already there..."
Verse Three -
She was feeling sad and lonely, and yes, depressed, too
As she typed out an email to her boyfriend
She said, "I'm not feeling good, and I need to know that 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 Three -
In reply, he sent 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, it's like I'm already there...
Bridge -
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you, wherever you are...
Chorus Four -
I'm already there, I'm all around
In the sunshine in your hair, in 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 me, I swear
With all of my heart
I'm already there."
