Five Years Time

Noah And The Whale · Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down [2008]

Oh well, in five years time we could be walking around a zoo

With the sun shining down over me and you

And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too

And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peek through



And there'll be sun, sun, sun, all over our bodies

And sun, sun, sun, all down our necks

And there'll be sun, sun, sun, all over our faces

And sun, sun, sun, so what the heck



'Cause I'll be laughing at all your silly little jokes

And we'll be laughing about how we used to smoke

All those stupid little cigarettes and drink stupid wine

'Cause it's what we needed to have a good time



But it was fun, fun, fun, when we were drinking

It was fun, fun, fun, when we were drunk

And it was fun, fun, fun, when we were laughing

It was fun, fun, fun, oh it was fun



Oh well, I'll look at you and say "it's the happiest that I've ever been"

And I'll say "I no longer feel I have to be James Dean"

And she'll say "yeah well I feel oh pretty happy too,

and I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you"



And it'd be love, love, love, all through our bodies

And love, love, love, all through our minds

And it'd be love, love, love, all over her face

And love, love, love, all over mine



And though I'll remember all these moments are just in my head

I'll be thinking about them as I'm lying in bed

And I know that immediately they might not even come true

But in my mind I'm having a pretty good time with you



Oh in five years time, I might not know you

In five years time, we might not speak

In five years time, we might not get along

In five years time, you might just prove me wrong



Oh there'll be love, love, love, wherever you go (x8)

There'll be love
