In "Already Over," Keenan Te describes a couple who keep circling the same irreconcilable differences, one quick to anger and the other self-involved. They have tried repeatedly, but their hearts remain misaligned, leaving them hanging on by a breaking thread. The image of slow dancing in a house of cards captures their strange intimacy: graceful on the surface while the structure collapses around them. There is no dramatic ending or clear blame, just the quiet recognition that the relationship has already ended even as they stay in motion.
Already Over Lyrics by Keenan Te
You’re quick to anger and I’m self-involved
Are we too scared to try and call it off?
Or just naive and missing what we’ve got?
We’ve tried hundred thousand times
Our hearts are always misaligned
Hanging on by a breaking thread
Slowly breathing our final breath
We know it
We’ve heading nowhere
Walking round in a house of cards
We’re slow dancing while we fall apart
No closure, it’s already over
We went in stronger than a tidal wave
We found our feet until we almost drowned
We caught our breath just a little too late
And now we sinking trying to hold our ground
It’s not your fault but it’s not mine
Our hearts are always misaligned
Hanging on by a breaking thread
Slowly breathing our final breath
We know it
We’ve heading nowhere
Walking round in a house of cards
We’re slow dancing while we fall apart
No closure, it’s already over
It’s already over
Hanging on by a breaking thread
Slowly breathing our final breath
We know it
We’re heading nowhere
Walking around in a house of cards
We’re slow dancing while we fall apart
No closure, it’s already over
