i think that all of these interpretations are very sweet, but the first few posters were right. every line in this song is about suggesting a threesome. there are very few, if any, nonsexual connotations to the word "threesome," and considering this is paul banks...
this is how i imagine the conversation going:
"through the storms and the light
baby you stood by my side
and life is wine"
baby, i just want you to know that i LOVE you.
"but there are days in this life
when you see the teeth marks of time
two lovers divide"
however, i feel there is a distance. aka the sex is no longer satisfying.
"sound meets sound babe
her echoes, they surround
and all that we need is one thing
now what is there to allow"
let me think of the best way to say this...
"babe it's time we gave
something new a try
oh alone we may fight
so just let us be free"
the two of us alone isn't enough, let's have a THREESOME!
"and baby tonight
i see your lips are on fire
and life is wine"
i can see that your sex drive is very high right now.
"now the windows are open
the moon is so bright
no one can tell us
what love brings for you and i"
and even though some people would think this is a terrible idea, i really think that a THREESOME would benefit our love!
"sound meets sound babe
the echoes, they surround
and all that we need is one thing
now what is there to allow
babe it's time we give
something new a try
oh alone we may fight
so just let us be free
tonight"
did i mention that we should have a threesome?
"through the storms and the light
baby you stood by my side
and life is wine
you feel the sweet breath of time
it's whispering it's truth, not mine
there's no "i"
in threesome"
just in case you didn't get it the first time, i think we should have a threesome, but i can't do it alone! (how convenient that paul banks actually says threesome, and oh hey, it's also the title of the song!)
"and i am all for it"
i am ALL FOR IT.
"babe its time we give
something new a try
oh alone we may fight
so just let us be three
tonight"
