5 years from now

Five years from now let me set up the scene

I'll call you up

And you'll say it is good to hear from me

I'll ask if we can meet at the cafe by your house

So you know I don't like coffee

I'd say I thought you might

By now suggest that since we're older

Let's go out for drinks

And I'll make a joke

That this is the first time you pay for me

I'll arrive at the bar

You'll be waiting in your car

You'll get out

And I'll run to you straight into your arms

I can feel your heart racing

But I won't say a thing

Cause mine is doing the same

Just like it did when I was eighteen

Once we get past the awkward

How are you's

You'll say you've been dying to know where I went to

I say that I've been working on my music in la

But I won't tell you that my songs are still about you

Till this day you say you're proud

And you're happy for me

And you'd always knew I'd end up living my dream

And then you'd fill me in on what you've been up to

And I will probably interrupt you

You know I always do

And we'll both laugh and it's like nothing's changed

When I look in your eyes

You still make me feel the same

And I'll dread the part

Where you tell me about all the girls you've been with

I know they're all in your past

But it'll still be hard for me to listen

Cause after all this time you haven't left my mind

I haven't moved on

I look for you in every guy

But I make up some stories

So you won't have a clue

That I never put myself out there

Cause I've been waiting for you

We'll talk for hours and we won't even notice

That the bar cleared out cause it closed at ten

It'll be almost eleven

And you'd say we should probably leave

And you walk me to my car and say let's do this again

Now drive home

Feeling the happiest I've been

Since five years ago before I inescapable end

But that's water under the bridge

It's okay that you didn't want me

Cause before I can even pull in my driveway

You call me you say that you couldn't wait

Till the next time you saw me

To tell me you're sorry about all those years ago

That you were just stupid and young

And the girls that you love were fine

But none of them never felt like home

But I do one day you'll ask for my forgiveness

But you've had it all along

Cause it's always been you

You think our love is long

Are now buried deep in the ground

And can never be found

But five years from now

Please give me the chance to prove you wrong
