Thinking Out Loud
Acacia Brinley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way (mmm...)
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are (oh, oh)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, lo-ud

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
But maybe we found love right where we are




Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Overall Meaning

In "Thinking Out Loud," Acacia Brinley sings about the power of love and how it endures even as we age and encounter physical and mental decline. The lyrics deal with the idea of commitment through thick and thin, and how real love can weather all the trials that life throws at us. The opening lines set the stage for the rest of the song, as Acacia sings about how even as our bodies break down and we lose the ability to do the things we once could, our love can still remain strong. She then asks if her partner will remember their love even when they are no longer physically able to be together.


Throughout the song, Acacia uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of a long-lasting love that endures despite the challenges of aging. In the chorus, she sings about being in love until she and her partner are 70 and beyond, and how even at a young age, her heart already beats hard for the person she loves. The repeated refrain of "take me into your loving arms" underscores the idea of intimacy and closeness that is central to the song.


Overall, "Thinking Out Loud" is a powerful anthem of love that speaks to the enduring nature of our human connections. Through its poignant lyrics and heartfelt melody, it celebrates the power of relationships that are built on trust, commitment, and an unbreakable bond.
