Morgan Wallen’s lyrics for “Been By Now”<\/h3>\n

Morgan<\/strong> sings in the bridge:<\/p>\n

\n

Nah, we don\u2019t even fight like we used to
We don\u2019t even care enough to cry no more
It\u2019s been a hundred nights since I knew you
How long we gonna keep looking at that door<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the chorus, he sings: <\/p>\n

\n

If it was meant to be, we\u2019d have been by now
We wouldn\u2019t have to keep tryna work things out
Yeah baby, we\u2019re a breeze when the lights go down
It wouldn\u2019t be so hard when we ain\u2019t in the dark
If we were in the stars, they\u2019d align right up
Yeah baby, from the start we\u2019ve been trying too much
I know you want to think that it\u2019s what we found
But if it was meant to be, we\u2019d have been by now
Been by now<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The song appears to be about accepting a breakup after it has happened, acknowledging that if they were going to be together, it would have happened “by now.”<\/p>\n

While performing the song for the first time, Morgan<\/strong> told <\/a>the crowd, \u201cI just had a few weeks off tour, so y\u2019all know me, I can\u2019t help but work a little bit. I\u2019ve been in the studio working on my\u2026whatever\u2019s next. I don\u2019t exactly know what\u2019s gonna be next yet. But I do know that this song I\u2019m about to play right now is gonna be my very next single and it comes out on July 24th.\u201d<\/p>\n
