In “Already Over,” Carpenter explores the fragility of relationships that should’ve ended already, she takes us through a relationship between her and someone else where they know should’ve stayed friends, but haven’t fallen out of their routine of being lovers.
[Verse 1]
We been talkin' for hours
'Bout how we shouldn't talk for hours on end
Kissin' after a conversation
'Bout how we'd probably be better off as friends
[Pre-Chorus]
Same time here next weekend
Say we won't do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can
[Chorus]
Yeah, I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
[Verse 2]
Selfishly don't wanna give you
Time to be on someone else's lips (Ah)
But I'll take three short hours over
Three long weeks pretendin' like we don't exist, hmm (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Same time here next weekend
Say we won't do this again
Make me fall where I stand
Only like you can
[Chorus]
Yeah, I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure?
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
[Bridge]
After the aftermath, I know you'll be comin' back
To the back bedroom and it won't be the last
Of the aftermath, I know you'll be comin' back
To the back bedroom and it won't be the last time
[Chorus]
I say I'm done, but I'm still confused
How am I supposed to close the door when I still need the closure? (Ooh)
And I change my mind, but it's still on you
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?
[Outro]
Yeah, I like my bed, but it likes you too
How am I supposed to leave you now that you're already over?

This one happened from a game we were playing in the studio. It was the end of a long week and we were really tired. We split into groups of two and each of us wrote a chorus in 15 minutes, and we’ll rotate so by the end of the hour we’ll have six chorus ideas. If we like any of them, great, we can...
It was a fun way to write about it in a way that didn’t weigh me down like some of the other songs did. Sometimes writing some of the songs on the record was cathartic and I was crying and it wasn’t fun. This one should feel sad, because it’s such a strenuous feeling that you continuously need closu...
