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 could feel your heart racing
But I won't say a thing
Cause mine still wearing the same
Just like it did when I was eighteen
Once we get past the awkward how I used
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 say you're proud 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 would 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 looked 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
Then you walk me to my car and say let's do this again
And I'll drive home
Feeling the happiest I've been
Since five years ago before our inescapable end
But that's water under the bridge
It's okay that you didn't want me
Cause before I could name a bullet
My driveway you called me
You said 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 gone 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
