"If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now / We wouldn't have to keep trying to work things out / Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down / It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark / If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up / Yeah, maybe from the start, we been tryin' too much / I know you wanna think that it's what we found / But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now," Wallen sings in the chorus.

Morgan Wallen's "Been By Now" Lyrics

No need to act surprised / I've seen it in your eyes / I feel it when we lie here worlds apart / It's easier to stay / It's easier to say / That there's gonna come a day it won't be this hard

Nah, we don't even fight like we used to / We don't even care enough to cry no more / It's been a hundred nights since I knew you / How long we gonna keep lookin' at that door?

CHORUS:

If it was meant to be, we'd have been by now / We wouldn't have to keep trying to work things out / Yeah, baby, we're a breeze when the lights go down / It wouldn't be so hard when we ain't in the dark / If we were in the stars, they'd have lined right up / Yeah, maybe from the start, we been tryin' too much / I know you wanna think that it's what we found / But if it was meant to be, we'd have been by now / Been by now

If I could go and find / The moment or the night / My heart went cold as ice, I'd light the match / Don't wanna draw the line / Don't wanna say goodbye / But we're just wastin' time, girl, that we don't have

REPEAT CHORUS

Nah, we don't even fight like we used to / We don't even care enough to cry no more / It's been a hundred nights since I knew you / And I can't spend another lookin' at that door

REPEAT CHORUS
