Thinking Out Loud
Laura Zocca 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 Laura Zocca’s song “Thinking Out Loud,” the lyrics describe a portrait of love that is strong and enduring despite the passing of time and the changes that come with aging. The first verse, which depicts a future where the singer’s physical abilities start to fail, shows that deep love transcends physical attributes. The use of the rhetorical device hyperbole (“I will be loving you 'til we're 70”) underscores the strength of the relationship.


In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that, eventually, her memory will fade, and the crowds will not remember her name. But, the lyrics suggest that the strength of the bond between the two is unwavering. The last two lines of the verse where she sings “I'll just keep on making the same mistakes hoping that you'll understand…” highlight how the singer is willing to keep making the same mistakes in their relationship, and she hopes that her partner understands her only human.


Ultimately, the song expresses that the love of the two people is unwavering, and it will never grow old. The fact that the lyrics don’t explicitly use the word “forever” only emphasizes how strong love can be. The song culminates in a repeat of the chorus, with the singer suggesting that the couple may have found love exactly where they are.
