Thinking Out Loud
Jasmine Thompson 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
That 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
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

But, baby, 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
That maybe we found love right where we are




Maybe we found love right where we are
We found love right where we are

Overall Meaning

The song "Thinking Out Loud" by Jasmine Thompson is a beautiful tribute to the timeless nature of love that transcends physical appearances and memories. The opening lines are a poignant representation of a physical decline that takes over with age, but the next lines show that the love between two people can still reign supreme, even when one partner is unable to take care of the other. The singer emphasizes that true love can survive through anything, and that is what makes it mysterious yet beautiful. The line "I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe it's all part of a plan" shows that sometimes love is inexplicable, and it happens in its own time and way, but it is always meant to be.


The chorus of the song is the heart of the lyrics. It is a plea for the loved one to accept and take care of the singer as they grow old, lose their hair, and even their memory. It is a reassurance that their love is eternal and evergreen. The line "Place your head on my beating heart" is a powerful expression of love and trust, as the singer is entrusting their heart and life to their partner. The song is an emotional rollercoaster ride that reminds us that love is beyond materialistic things and is much more than a physical connection.


Line by Line Meaning

When your legs don't work like they used to before
As we grow older, physical abilities decline.


And I can't sweep you off of your feet
I cannot amaze you anymore.


Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will you still cherish the memories of our love?


Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
Will your eyes still sparkle when you look at me?


And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
My love for you will never diminish.


And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
My love for you is as strong as ever.


And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Love doesn't always happen in expected ways.


Maybe just the touch of a hand
Small gestures can ignite love.

I fall in love with you over and over again.


And I just wanna tell you I am

I'm thinking out loud
I'm sharing my thoughts with you.


That maybe we found love right where we are
Perhaps we don't need to look for love elsewhere.


When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
As I age and forget things,


And the crowds don't remember my name
People might forget who I am.


When my hands don't play the strings the same way
As I lose my musical touch,


I know you will still love me the same
I'm confident your love for me will remain constant.


'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
You have a timeless and immortal essence.


And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
Your happiness is etched in my memories.


Maybe it's all part of a plan
Perhaps there's a reason behind everything.


Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
I'll keep loving you regardless of the mistakes I make.


Hoping that you'll understand
Praying that you'll comprehend my love.


But, baby, now
But now, my love,


Maybe we found love right where we are
Maybe we found love in the present moment.


We found love right where we are
We found love in the here and now.
