Noah And The Whale – 5 Years Time lyrics

Noah And The Whale – 5 Years Time lyrics

Oh, well in 5 years time
We could be walking around a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there will be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes but you'll peek through

And there will be sun sun sun all over our bodies
And sun sun sun all down our necks
And there will be sun sun sun all over our faces
And sun sun sun so what the heck

Cause I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes
And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine
Cause it's what we needed to have a good time

But it was fun fun fun when we were drinking
And it was fun fun fun when we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun when we were laughing
And it was fun fun fun, oh it was fun

Oh, well I'll look at you and say it's the happiest I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel, I have to be James Dean
And she'll say yeah well I feel oh pretty happy too
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you

And it'll be love love love all through our bodies
And it'll be love love love all through our minds
And it'll be love love love all over her face
And love love love all over mine

And though really all these moments are just in my head
I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed
And I know that really it might not even come true
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you

Oh in 5 years time I might not know you
In 5 years time we might not speak
In 5 years time we might not get along
In 5 years time you might just prove me wrong

Oh there will be love love love wherever you go

A man who's taking a trip down memory lane recalling how his life was fun whenever he was with her and had fun with her no matter the simplest times they shared, just kicking back. He thinks of all these happy times while he is lying in bed and wonders if in 5 years time he will still love her. He wonders if they will still be together or happy, but he knows and feels strongly that in his heart he will still love her and they will still have fun!

Two babies, a boy and a girl, are born on the same day in the same hospital, at the same time. When they're laying in their sweet little baby beds and the boy sees the little baby girl laying next to him, it is love at first sight for him. He then imagines that he and the girl go out to the zoo when they are about five years old and they dance around in the zoo, watching the animals, elephants included, while being hopelessly in love with each other. The baby boy then only realizes that it might never come true and that the baby girl is most probably out of his league, but he still has hope that someday they might be together.

If you take a look at this part of the song:.
And though really all these moments are just in my head.
I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed.
And I know that really it might not even come true.
But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you.
I think its someone simply thinking about someone else, and wishing and dreaming about a relationship. He's fantasizing about her. And in five years time, he expects not to know or be in contact with her, but he doesn't really know what will happen in the future.

Okay, I'm not suggesting that this is what it's about, but this song always made me think of finding out you/your significant other is pregnant. And just thinking if how it changes things, like how you used to need to drink and smoke and such but now you don't need to (or can't) because you have a child. And the bit about it all bring in his head is him knowing that parenthood isn't going to be like that. B
Ut that's just me. So feel free not to leave me a comment about how wrong I am. Because I don't care and I won't read it.
