Five Years Songtext
von Bo Burnham

Hey baby, uh, it′s me, uhm
Our anniversary is coming up
It's a pretty big one
And, uhm, I wrote a song for you
So, I′m just leaving you this voicemail because, uhm
I want this song to begin with this voicemail
Like, I want the voicemail to play in the beginning of it
So, uh, if you could just download this voicemail when you get it and then text it to me

Uhm, you might need to, like, download another app to
Download the, I don't know if you can rip your voicemail right off your phone
You might need to, like
Just Google it
Don't call me and ask me
′Cause I know, I know what you′re gonna do, you're gonna
You′re gonna get this and you're gonna


Just think you just can′t do it and you're gonna call me
But then I′m just gonna Google it
So just you Google it, you're an adult, you can figure it out
Uhm, so just figure it out and text me the voicemail, uhm
Immediately, if you wouldn't mind
Like, right when you get this
Thank you, uhm, I love you, bye

You′re my best friend
I love you (love you, love you)
You know me and I know you (know you, know you)
We got problems that we′ve been through (been through, been through)
We got shit that we'll get through, uh

You think I′m rude to you
You think I am the worst
Because I ask when you suck my dick
You take out your Invisalign first
Come on

Five years, five years
Still you, still me, still here
Five years, five years, baby
Five years, five years

We order Chinese
I'm eating my dumplings
You reach over and you take my dumpling
You don′t even say, "Do you mind?" or nothing
Why would you assume that you're entitled to a dumpling?


So I look at you
You look back at me like, "What the fuck did I do?"
If you really wanted some dim sum
Then, you really shoulda gotten some when we put in the order"
You say, "You′re a psycho
And I, I don't wanna fight, so let's just drop this
It′s not a big deal"
Okay, but for the record you owe me a dumpling
I mean it, I won′t forget
You owe me a dumpling or a dumpling equivalent

Five years, five years
Still you, still me, still here
Five years, five years, baby
Five years, five years

We found a spider in the house
You freaked and you jumped up onto the couch
Since I was close and able
I jumped up on the coffee table

You said, "You should kill that"
I said, "Um, no, fuck that"
You said, "Come on, be a man"
What?

You're a total anti-sexist, a patriarchy fighter
But your whole worldview collapses the moment there′s a spider
Cool, I get it, this is the real you
It's a pleasure, nice to meet you
Shit like this brings the movement down
Everyone′s a feminist until there is a spider around

Five years, five years
Still you, still me, still here
Five years, five years, baby
Five years, five years

How come every time I need to take a poo in the bathroom
You, out of the blue, need to use the bathroom?
Just use the guest room bathroom
That's why we got two bathrooms
Just use the guest room bathroom
That′s why we got two bathrooms
And you know
