Three Cheers for Five Years
Mayday Parade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I swear that you don't have to go
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
And 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 (i had in you)

Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (here now, 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 die right now, you'd never be the same

I thought with a month of apart
Together would find us an opening
Moonlight would provide the spark
And that I would stumble across your 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
I gave me heart as an offering (as an offering)

Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's just another night, another dream wasted on you
So just be here now (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 die right now, you'd never be the same

'Cause I will always remember you as you are right now to me
And I will always remember you now, remember you now

So sleep alone tonight
With no one here just by your side
Sleep alone tonight

And how does he feel?
And how does he kiss?
And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
How does he feel?
How does he kiss?

And I can't forget you
And I know you want me to want you I want to
But I can't forgive you
So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
I can't forgive you
And I know you want me to want you, I want to
But I can't forget you
So when this is over don't blow your composure baby

I can't forget you
I know you want me to want you, I want to

Overall Meaning

Mayday Parade's "Three Cheers For Five Years" is a sorrowful and emotional song. It is about the end of a five-year relationship and the pain that comes with it. The opening lines, "And I swear that you don't have to go, I thought we could wait for the fireworks," expresses the desperation of the singer to keep the relationship going. The fireworks and snow represent the special and magical moments they have shared. The heartbroken singer also wishes he could spend every moment with his partner and confesses his faith in them.


However, the relationship is over, and the singer is now lonely and sure that it is too late to fix things. The anniversary of their relationship will never be the same, and the singer is dying inside. He paints a picture of himself with his heart beside him, shattered into pieces that can never be replaced. He then recalls the memories of their special moments together, their first kiss, and how he felt when he was with her. Although he cannot forget her, he knows that he cannot forgive her either.


The song ends with a plea for the partner to hold themselves together and not to lose their composure after the breakup. The lyrics show the raw emotions of the singer and provide a glimpse into the pain and sorrow of losing someone they cherished.


Line by Line Meaning

And I swear that you don't have to go
I am pleading with you to stay


I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we would have a long and exciting relationship


And I thought we could wait for the snow
I thought our love was strong enough to withstand the winter


To wash over georgia and kill the hurt
To forget about the pain of past relationships


I thought I could live in your arms
I thought being with you would bring me eternal happiness


And spend every moment I had with you
I wanted to be with you all the time and never leave your side


Stay up all night with the stars
Spend countless hours discussing our deepest thoughts and desires


Confess all the faith that I had in you
Express my unwavering trust and belief in you


Too late, I'm sure (I'm sure) and lonely (and lonely, lonely)
It's too late to salvage our relationship and I am feeling lonely


'Cause it's another night, another dream wasted on you
I keep having dreams about us that will never come true


So just be here now (here now, here now), against me
Please just stay here with me and hold me close


You know the words, so sing along for me baby
I want you to share our memories and sing with me


For heaven's sake, I know you're sorry
I understand that you feel regretful


But you won't stop crying
You can't seem to stop feeling sad and heartbroken


This anniversary may never be the same
Our special day may never be as happy as it used to be


Inside I hope you know I'm dying
I am falling apart emotionally because of our relationship struggles


With my heart beside me
My heart is broken and I carry it with me at all times


In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
My heart is broken beyond repair


And if I die right now, you'd never be the same
If I were to die, it would be a devastating loss for you


With no one here just by your side
You are alone and have nobody to hold


And how does he feel?
I am curious about your new partner's emotions


And how does he kiss?
I wonder if your new partner's kisses compare to mine


And how does he taste when he's on your lips?
I wonder if your new partner tastes better than me


And I can't forget you
Even though I try, I can't erase you from my memory


And I know you want me to want you I want to
I know you want me to love you, and I do


But I can't forgive you
I cannot forgive you for what you have done


So when this over, don't blow your composure baby
When we are finally done, don't act in a dramatic or irrational way


I can't forget you
No matter how hard I try, I cannot forget you


So when this is over don't blow your composure baby
Please remain calm and rational when our relationship comes to an end
