Thinking Out Loud
Meg Birch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of "Thinking out Loud" by Meg Birch speaks about a love that transcends time, age, and physical changes. The opening lines "When your legs don't work like they used to before/ And I can't sweep you off of your feet" address the physical changes the characters will experience with age, and the question asked in the next line "Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?" talks about the power of memory and how love can sustain through it. The chorus "Take me into your loving arms/ Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars" talks about the physical expressions of love, and "Place your head on my beating heart/ I'm thinking out loud/ Maybe we found love right where we are" addresses the emotional connection that sustains their relationship.
The second verse continues with the theme of age, with "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" yet the chorus provides that reassurance that love will remain unchanged. The song ends with "Oh, baby, we found love right where we are/ And we found love right where we are" which is a happy, hopeful note. The lyrics of "Thinking out Loud" are a true testament to long-lasting love and dedicated commitment.
