Björk – 5 Years (Lyrics)

Song: 5 Years Artist: Björk Album: Homogenic Year: 1997 Lyrics You think you're denying me of something Well, I've got plenty You're the one who's missing out But you won't notice Until after five years If you'll live that long You'll wake up All loveless I dare you To take me on I dare you To show me your palms I'm so bored with cowards That say they want Then they can't handle You can't handle love You can't handle love You just can't handle I dare you To take me on I dare you To show me your palms What's so scary? Not a threat in sight You just can't handle You can't handle love You can't handle love Baby, you can't handle love It's obvious You can't handle I dare you To take me on I dare you To show me your palms I'm so bored of cowards That say they want Then they can't handle You can't handle love Baby, you can't handle love It's obvious You can't handle I dare you I dare you I dare you I dare you History “5 Years” is, presumably, a song about someone Björk knew. Someone she surely loved and wanted a relationship from, yet the person did not reciprocate. In “5 Years”, Björk explains her position to this person, she explains that they seem to be afraid of nothing, and that it seems to her that they simply cannot love. “5 Years” is the sixth track off of Björk’s third studio album, Homogenic.
