She's Already There

Gotta fix the washing machine
Water's leaking under the door
Trying to figure what to do
As clothes pile up on the garage floor
And I'm wondering what we did last time
I look over at her with a blank stare
But she smiles knowingly as she grabs the toolbox
And I know, she's already there
She's already there

Wintertime is coming
As every put-off project calls
We gotta be ready for the next go round
Before the upcoming winter snow falls
And I'm trying to take on everything
She sees me running everywhere
And motions with a discerning nod to slow down
And I can see
She's already there
She's already there

Intuitively, she looks at me
Kindhearted with empathetic eyes
Ready and willing to lend a hand
Most times, one step in front of mine

One of the kids are in trouble
With problems not easily solved
And you know that somewhere in it all
That money's got to be involved
Meanwhile I'm there calculating
How to get them out of that snare
And I'm still in the planning stages
With no surprise
She's already there
She's already there

Laying in bed, worried
Stressed out
Trying find some peace of mind
As the alarm goes off
It's a new morning
And then it's
Back to the grind
Driving home, worrying about the lost time
She and I never seem to share
And as I get home with designs to move in that direction
I find
She's already there
She's already there
