Thinking Out Loud
Gustavo Trebien 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 hhhmmm...
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
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

So 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

ha ah ha
humhh la la la la la la la la
huuuuu

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
Maybe we found love right where we are




Maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Thinking Out Loud" by Gustavo Trebien tell a touching story of a long-lasting, enduring love that transcends physical and mental abilities. The opening lines suggest that the physical limitations that aging often brings about will not change the quality of the love that the singer and their partner share. The next lines underscore this point, by implying that even if the singer can't be as chivalrous as they once were, their partner will still remember the love they shared in the past. The chorus builds on this theme of a love that endures over time, with the singer promising to love their partner for their whole life, from the age of 23 to 70. The lyrics evoke the idea that despite the many mistakes that we make in life, love finds its way to us in mysterious ways, and we are often powerless to resist its charms.


The second verse of the song reinforces this notion that love is eternal, and again mentions the fears that we have as we age, such as memory loss and a loss of reputation. However, the lyrics reassure us that true love remains steadfast, as it is driven by the soul, which never fades. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer saying that they will keep on making the same mistakes, in the hope that their partner will understand and forgive them. The final chorus repeats the message that love has the power to transcend all obstacles, and leaves the listener with a feeling of hope and joy.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
When you get old, and you're not as active as you were before


And I can't sweep you off of your feet
And I can't impress you like I used to do before


Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will you still love me when we get old?


Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
Will you still find happiness in the little things we do?


And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
I will always love you, no matter what happens


And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I will always feel the same way about you, like when we were young


And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
And I find it amazing how we fell in love with each other


Maybe just the touch of a hand
Maybe it's the small things that brought us closer


Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
I keep falling in love with you each day more than the previous one


And I just wanna tell you I am
And I just want you to know that


So, honey, now
So, my love, I want to say


Take me into your loving arms
Hold me close to you, and love me like before


Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Kiss me like we mean it, under the beautiful sky full of stars


Place your head on my beating heart
Feel my heart and know that it beats for you


I'm thinking out loud
I'm saying what's on my mind


Maybe we found love right where we are
Maybe we didn't have to search for love; we found it right where we are


When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
When I grow old and my memory weakens


And the crowds don't remember my name
And I am no longer famous, and people don't remember who I am


When my hands don't play the strings the same way hhhmmm...
When I am no longer as skillful as before, playing my instrument


I know you will still love me the same
I know, despite everything, you will still love me the same way as before


'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
Because, my love, your soul will never get old, it's like an evergreen tree


And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
And I will always remember the way you smiled at me


Maybe it's all part of a plan
Maybe our love story is a part of a greater plan


I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
I'll keep following my heart, even at the risk of making the same mistakes


Hoping that you'll understand
Hoping that you will always be there for me, and understand me


ha ah ha humhh la la la la la la la la huuuuu
This part is just humming, showing the happiness and love they share.


Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
Hold me tight and feel my heart, which beats for you


Maybe we found love right where we are
Maybe we didn't have to search for love; we found it right here


And we found love right where we are
We found our love story, right where we are
