5 Years Time Lyrics
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peep through
All over our bodies
And sun sun sun
All down our necks (?)
And sun sun sun
All over our faces
And sun sun sun
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
When we were drinking
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk
And it was fun fun fun
When we were laughing
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun
It's the happiest that I've ever been
And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she'll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you
Love love love
All through our bodies
And love love love
All through our minds
And it be Love love love
All over her face
And love love love
All over mine
I'll be thinking ‘bout them as I'm lying in bed
And all that I believe, it might not even come true
But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you
In five years time we might not speak
In five years time we might not get along
In five years time you might just prove me wrong
Wherever you go
There'll be love
"And it'll be love love love All over her face" nice.
dirty.
dirty.
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
This song is lovelovelove
Im certain this song isnt optimistic at all. Most of noah and the whales songs arent. Seeing as it says "In 5 years time we could..." at the beginning shows this is all just in his imagination. It seems to be about him and one of his good friends who he is in love with. Its all in future and conditional tense and at the end when it says "you might just prove me wrong", i see this as not being optimistic but instead its saying that she might prove his him wrong in thinking that they could ever be together.
I do love this song though, I think the fact that it does sound happy and has the pessimistic undertones is the beauty of it (:
See I took the "you might just prove me wrong" as a good thing. Regarding that verse where he's saying we might night speak, or get along...maybe she'll prove him wrong as is they will speak and know each other. or maybe thats just how I'm relating to it.

I agree ruthless =)

i think this song is happy all the way through, i think it's about how he really likes a person, and just hopes and dreams that in the future they will be together and happy. i love how optimistic it all is, even at the end when he admits that maybe none of it will ever happen, it's like it doesn't really matter because 'there'll be love love love wherever you go' ; so even if they're not together and happy, this person is still amazing anyway.
i'm listening to this song, thinking this song is so lovely, i just wish i could feel this in love with the person i think about all the time. the song then starts to make me sad because i am not with that person and then...
BAM...maybe all these moments are just in my head!
just gorgeous!
i am always pretty happy when i am just kicking back with you*
absolutely brilliant Laura Marling's vocals are truly adorable and the song itself... It has to be the happiest song I've ever heard
Maybe I'm a born optimist 9which I'm not) or maybe it's because I'm desperately in love and sent this song to my boyfriend only this morning, but I read the "in my head" bit totally different as he still says "you might prove me wrong", as in she will show him that it isn't all in his head and in 5 years all of this will be true. Like I said, maybe I'm an optimist
I saw it that way too..
I saw it that way too..
I think this should become a 'romantics anthem' something that everyone truely in love can relate to. really beautiful song, with beautiful lyrics =]
I don't think it's pessimistic at all. As much as I don't want to be "omg it's sooo good i love it" because I think there's a deeper meaning, i think it's mostly optimistic. Or at least realistic. Cause like, yeah, maybe the people you love now won't be the same later on, but everyone changes and relationships are always fluid. But the good part about that is, there WILL always be someone that you can listen to this song with and be in love. :) Also, this expresses optimism about whatever current relationship it's about...that it's strong enough to last for five years. I think the things he "imagines" did actually happen, but he's been separated from his love, and he knows that they WILL meet again.

You really have a point there and you're the first to mention it. Definately true!

Well throughout the song he is describing all the good things that could happen to them in the future, and how amazing life could be, in five years time. In the fourth verse, he makes it clear that he does not think any of this is going to happen, but even though it's all "in his head" he is still thinking about the life that they could have. The next chorus is him saying that even if they do not know each other in the future, she will still go on to have a brilliant life, full of "love". The final line before the last chorus "You might just prove me wrong" is saying that maybe it will all happen, and there's a slight chance that he might be proved wrong in his prediction that it really is only fantasy. So when people say oh it's optimistic or it's pessimistic, it's neither. He has accepted that he will probably never live all these moments, and he's accepted that, and is perfectly happy just to live in the dream of his own mind.
