Already Fine
Tylan feat. Amy Ray Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm not sorry
You know I don't mind
I'd do it all over
If I could show you that I was on fire

You're not gonna wonder
I'm not gonna ask
I wasn't the right kind of thunder to

Shake you and wake you and take you at last

I wasn't the one who made you cry
I gave you my best prolonged midnight
I gave you the kiss I'd saved my whole life
You were already fine

I got plenty of problems
I got plenty to do
I don't sit around here dusting the window sills waiting for you

I guess here's a love song
I wrote by mistake
I wrote it on envelopes for you
The steam on the mirror
Whatever it takes

I wasn't the one who made you cry
I gave you my best prolonged midnight
I gave you the kiss I'd saved my whole life
You were already fine

Hooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oohhh

Fireworks in the distance
Dogs barking outside

At least you were always consistent
No blind man could miss it
That look in your eyes

I wasn't the one who made you cry
I gave you my best prolonged midnight
I gave you the kiss I'd saved my whole life
You were already fine

You were already fine

Overall Meaning

The song Already Fine by Tylan feat. Amy Ray is a reflective love song that speaks of a past love. The singer talks about not being apologetic for the relationship, and that if given the chance, she would do it over again, even though the relationship did not work out. The singer acknowledges that the other person was already fine, meaning that they did not need anyone to complete them, and the relationship was not meant to be.

The singer goes on to say that she was not the right type of thunder to shake, wake and take the other person. This could mean that she was not able to fully capture the other person's attention or heart. However, she gave the relationship her best, including a prolonged midnight and a kiss that she had saved her whole life. The singer also speaks of not waiting around for the other person but acknowledging that she has problems and things to do.

The song seems to have a melancholic feel, but there is a sense of acceptance that whatever happened, happened. The use of the metaphor 'fireworks in the distance' and 'dogs barking outside' and 'no blind man could miss it' shows that the other person's feelings were evident and that there was no denying them. In essence, the singer is saying that although the relationship did not work out, the other person was already fine on their own.
