Pelican - The Maccabees

So soon we’re too old to carry

And we knew we only had a little while

In the middle just keep ticking over

Before you know it parent to parent, oh

To have it all and still want more

One things for sure: we’re all getting older

So we take a lover waiting in the corner

Before you know it, we’re pushing up the daisies

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come

And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again and again

Well, in the end, nothing comes easy

So you find a way to take a little with you

For the ones you love, there if they need to

Hey pharaoh, they’re not coming with you

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come

And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again and again

So soon we’re too old to carry

And we knew we only had a little while

In the middle just keep ticking over

Before you know it parent to parent, oh

And we go back to where we came from

Like those before and those to come

And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again and again
