5 Years Time
Noah And The Whale & Laura Marling Lyrics

Oh well, in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
I'm hopeful about our future and imagine us doing simple things together like walking around a zoo.

With the sun shining down over me and you
The weather will be beautiful and sunny when we're together.

And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
Love will be all around us, even in animals like elephants.

And I'll put my hand over your eyes but you'll peek through
I'll playfully tease you by covering your eyes, but you'll still peek through and see what I'm doing.

And there'll be sun, sun, sun all over our bodies
The sun will be shining so brightly and warmly on us that we'll feel its warmth all over our bodies.

And sun, sun, sun all down our necks
The sun's rays will be so intense that we'll feel it on our necks too.

And there'll be sun, sun, sun all over our faces
We'll be smiling so much that our faces will glow like they're basked in sunlight.

And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck
We'll be enjoying ourselves so much that we won't care about anything else like responsibilities or worries.

'Cause well be laughing at all your silly little jokes
We'll find joy in the little things, like sharing jokes that may not make sense to others.

And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke
We'll chuckle at how we used to indulge in unhealthy habits, but now realize how good it feels to be healthy.

All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine
We used to smoke and drink alcohol to have fun, but now realize that these habits were not sustainable for our health.

'Cause it's what we needed to have a good time
In the past, we thought that indulging in these vices was necessary for us to have fun.

But it was fun, fun, fun when we were drinking
We did have fun when we drank alcohol, but now realize that there are healthier ways to enjoy ourselves.

It was fun, fun, fun when we were drunk
In the moment, being drunk was amusing and enjoyable, but now realize the negative effects it has on our health and well-being.

And it was fun, fun, fun when we were laughing
The moments when we laughed together were the most precious and valuable experiences that we had.

It was fun, fun, fun, oh, it was fun
Overall, our past experiences were fun and enjoyable, but now we are looking for healthier ways to have fun and enjoy each other's company.

Oh well, I look at you and say it's the happiest that I've ever been
I am currently at a state of contentment and happiness with you by my side.

And I'll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
I no longer feel the pressure to conform to societal expectations of what a cool person should be like.

And she'd say, yeah well, I feel pretty a happy too
You would also feel content and happy being with me.

And I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you
Spending relaxed, low-key moments with you always brings me joy and happiness.

And it'll be love, love, love all through our bodies
The feeling of love will be so strong that it will be as if it's flowing through our veins and whole bodies.

And love, love, love all through our minds
Our love will not only be physical, but also deeply rooted in our minds and emotions.

And it'll be love, love, love all over her face
You will be so happy and filled with love that it will show on your face.

And love, love, love all over mine
The same will be true for me - my love for you will show on my face.

And admittedly all these moments are just in my head
I acknowledge that these imagined happy moments might not actually happen, and are all just in my mind.

I'll be thinking bout them as I'm lying in bed
Even though these moments are not yet a reality, I'll still think about them and imagine them as I go to bed.

And I know that admittedly it might not even come true
I understand that these imagined happy moments may not happen as I envisioned them to be.

But in my mind I'm havin' a pretty good time with you
Despite the uncertainty, the moments I have imagined with you in my head still brings me a lot of joy and contentment.

Oh, in five years time I might not know you
There is a possibility that we will drift apart and not be as close after five years.

In five years time we might not speak
It's possible that we may not have much communication after five years.

Oh, in five years time we might not get along
Our relationship may change in five years, and we may experience bumps in the road that impact how we get along with each other.

In five years time you might just prove me wrong
Although there is uncertainty, there is also a possibility that we will remain close and our relationship will continue to flourish.

Oh, there'll be love, love, love wherever you go
Regardless of the changes and uncertainty, my love for you will follow you no matter where you go.

There'll be love, love, love wherever you go
My love for you will not be affected by distance or time.

There'll be love, love, love wherever you go
No matter where life takes you, the love I have for you will remain constant.

There'll be love, love, love wherever you go
The love we share will transcend all obstacles and circumstances, and will be present no matter what.

There'll be love, love, love wherever you go
In summary, the love we share is a constant that will follow us wherever life takes us, whether we remain close for many years to come or not.
