Singalong! Five Years' Time by Noah and the Whale

This song is so cute and sweet and fun and then all of a sudden kind of sad and real but still cute and okay. It's sort of optimistically pessimistic, like "hey, we're super happy now and in five years we might still be happy, but in five years we might not have spoken for four years and won't even know each other anymore. Either way, there will be love in our lives. In one hand, it makes me sad, because falling out of love is sad and also because it always makes me a bit sad when people are all cool and "whatever" about the possibility of falling out of love, but it also makes me happy to know that people can be okay with life.

FIVE YEARS' TIME

by Noah and the Whale

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo

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

And there'll be sun sun sun all over our bodies

And sun sun sun all down our necks

And sun sun sun all over our faces

And sun sun sun -so what the heck!

Cos 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

Cos it's what we needed to have a good time

And it was fun fun fun 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

Oh well I look at you and say

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

And it'll be 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

Although maybe all these moments are just in my head

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 I might not know 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

Oh there'll be love love love

Wherever you go

There'll be love
