Lyrics to Noah and the Whale- "5 years time"

Lyrics to 5 Years Time :

At the docks by himself sitting down looking at his legs looks sad-first 38secs

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo – high angle in park establishing to point of view in docks, walking around happy.

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 peep through

Rapids cuts in-between music between time frames

And there’ll be sun sun sun –them happy in the docks

All over our bodies

And sun sun sun - switching back to him walking alone at the docks

All down our necks

And sun sun sun-happy couple

All over our faces

And sun sun sun- him alone

So what the heck

Cos I’ll be laughing at all your silly little jokes- This is set in the park playing tennis

And we’ll be laughing about how we used to smoke
All those stupid little cigarettes
And drink stupid wine
Cos it’s what we needed to have a good time

And it was fun fun fun
When we were drinking – them happy playing tennis ball bounces then cuts to him alone
It was fun fun fun
When we were drunk - him staring into the tennis court
And it was fun fun fun
When we were laughing -ball bounces back to them laughing playing tennis
It was fun fun fun
Oh it was fun – then him staring into tennis courts but we shoot him through the gate.

Oh well I look at you and say – Them playing hide and seek near the tree him hiding behind the tree,.
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 – Them running down hill happy
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you

And it’ll be – Them happy playing still running up hill
Love love love
All through our bodies – cuts when he goes behind tree and turns around and cuts to him alone near the tree
And love love love
All through our minds – happy
And it be Love love love
All over her face - sad
And Love love love
All over mine - sad


Although maybe all these moments are just in my head – him lying in the road remembering times
I’ll be thinking ‘bout them as I’m lying in bed
And all that I believe might never really come true – she walks across but like a ghost and he sees her but she just vanishes
But in my mind I’m havin’ a pretty good time with you

Oh

Five years time – Them in the road and they are fighting
I might not know you
Five years time
We might not speak
Oh
In five years time
We might not get along
In five years time
You might just prove me wrong – you see her just vanish.

Oh there’ll be love love love – during this time is the different places that they were together (Christchurch, docks and the road) of them just being happy
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love- by this bit you see him near the tree in Christchurch and him alone
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love
Wherever you go
There’ll be love love love – this bit he scatteres ashes and we get a still shot (?) of the ashes coming out of the jar.
