5 Years Lyrics by Björk

Homogenic

1997

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
You can't handle love
Baby, you can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You can't handle love
Baby, you can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

[Outro]
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you
I dare you
