Three Cheers for Five Years Lyrics
I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you
To late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same
I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
And moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across the key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
And I'd give my heart as an offering
And I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember now
Sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms
And spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars
Confess all the faith that I had in you
To late, I'm sure and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now against me
You know the words so sing along for me baby
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
But you won't stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
With my heart beside me
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
And if I died right now you'd never be the same
Together would find us an opening
And moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across the key
Or break down the door to your heart
Forever could see us not you and me
And you'd help me out of the dark
And I'd give my heart as an offering
And I will always remember now
Sleep alone tonight with no one here just by your side
How does he feel, how does he kiss
How does he taste while he's on your lips
I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you
I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
I know you want me to want you I want to

This song is about a couple that has been together for 5 years. But on their 5th year anniversary she confesses that she has been secretly seeing someone else. His heart is broken. He thinks that after being a part for a month that she would come back to him. Something would happen to make her see that he is what she truly wants and needs. He knows that things will never be the same even if she wants him ever again. But he is going to remember her as the perfect girl he loved and thought she was. She might want things to be okay between them. But he can't want her again. He knows somewhere deep inside she wants him to still love her. But he can't. He wants to forgive her but deep down that's something he can't do.
This song...? Three Cheers For Five Years...? Its an expression of a mans love for his girlfriend, they are out celebrating their Fifth year aniversary, quite a milestone, and so, his girlfriend desides that on this day, she will tell him that shes been cheating on him.
As he is distraught, he ends it, and desides that perhaps, just perhaps, that a litle amount of time, a month or so, may help his ex realise, that he is the guy she should be with, he loves her so much, he doesnt wonna see her get hurt, though she doesnt wonna see her with him...
He, due to his endless love for her, regretdly accepts to never be with her again, hoping that again, she may come back for him...
At the same time, he is trying to forgive her for what she has done, she had lied, he cant trust her, the basis of ANY relationship is trust... What can he do? He knows that with that he can not trust her anymore, but also, his "love" has blinded him, he still wants her back, he is gettn "attraction" mixed up with "love"
But still ends it with the whole, you'll be sorry when I'm gone card, he says that "...I will always remember you as you are right now to me; And I will always remember now..." Saying that how you were back then, and what yu are now are two VERY diffrent things... and finishes with a classic, "your a whore, how is he in bed?" type of line, by making her guilty, she may drop the guy she cheated on him with, and not return to that chapter of her life, or just continue and not take any notice of it.
All in all, an EXCELLENT song =) Though this is just a 14 year olds perspective on a song =) But yeah I love this band!! They'll go far =D

i think it means that there was a girl who meant alot to his guy and they have been together for five years, but on their fith year of their anniversary she confesses to the guy that maybe she cheated on him or something tragic and he loved her so much that he forgives her and still loves her but she wanted to take a break for they were part for a month and the guy like still loves her but she wants him to let her go and forget about her. and hes doing that because he cares about her
Lol. Just put that in simpler words. Instead of making it so complex. I am thinking to rephrase what you said more in the lines of , " Three cheers for five years is about a couple who have been together for five years but then the girl finally confesses that she cheated on him and he loves her so much that he forgives her but then she just ends up breaking it off in the long run because she doesn't feel comfortable with the relationship anymore."

i dont know if anyone has heard it...but this song is on Punk Goes Acoustic 2 and its very very good. I recomend that you listen to it!
this song is amazing.
the acoustic version makes me cry. its just soo soft and sweet.
they are some lyrical geniuses
this is such a lovely song.
:)
Alot of you are saying that she's leaving him but I dont think thats the case.
Around their 5 year mark, she confesses she cheated and he decides that they need a month break "I thought with a month of apart".
"I know you want me to want you" She wants everything to work out
"For heaven's sake I know you're sorry But you won't stop crying" She keeps on apologizing and crying because she hurt him and feels so bad and just wants to be with him.
"Inside I hope you know I'm dying With my heart beside me In shattered pieces that may never be replaced And if I died right now you'd never be the same" On the outside he's acting like hes just disappointed and it will eventually be okay but he hopes she knows that shes killing him
"And I will always remember you as you are right now to me And I will always remember now" Hes contrasting who he thought she was and who she really is. He thought she was perfect but really shes a liar && a cheater.
"How does he feel, how does he kiss How does he taste while he's on your lips" Hes basically wondering what he's like
"But I can't forgive you So when this is over don't blow your composure baby I can't forgive you I know you want me to want you I want to" He leaves her.
Its a sad song but I love it.
Wow. Amazing song.
I think its about a girl and a guy that were together for a long time. The guy wanted to and was hoping that they could be together forever. But the girl did something terrible like cheat on him. They didn't talk for a month after he found out and he was hoping that it would fix things and they could be happy and in love again. She was very sorry about what she had done and she wanted him to want her back. He wanted to but he just couldn't forgive her.
Sounds like what happened to me. =/ Except we were only together for like...maybe 5 months. Probably not even that long. And I didn't cheat on him. I didn't do anything even close to that. What I did wasn't even bad compared to cheating on somebody. But now I'm forcing myself to move on. Even though deep down I know I would do anything for him to be mine again.
okay, i definatley think this song is about a couple, who's been together for five years, and on their anniversary, she tells him she's been cheating, after they've been apart for a month. he was in love with her, until she told him that... and she still loves him, but his heart is broken, and he broke up with her, and is starting to get over her, even though she's always crying and telling him she's sorry, and wants him back, but he doesn't trust her anymore, and will never feel the same about her again. which makes up the last part-
"I can't forget you I know you want me to want you I want to But I can't forgive you So when this is over don't blow your composure baby I can't forgive you I know you want me to want you I want to"
and he just wants her to know she broke his heart, and even though he's acting fine, he's really not. and he'll never forget her, but he will always remember how much she hurt him. it's reallyy a sad song. but i love itt. especially acoustic, cause you can hear the emotion in his voice.
This song peaks my life right now. Acoustic version is absolutely* amazingggg!
