Lyrics The Maccabees

The Maccabees

Go

Left you there in the sunlight

In the sunshine by the windowsill in the kitchen

In light of what was to come it was not enough

Just like the cardboard that covered

The missing panes and cracks in our bedroom windows

We should have known they wouldn't keep out the cold

It was not enough

It's not enough

And it never was

And they'll call out with a name by which I'd never call you

And we'll grow out when it's time

And the skins we've known no longer fit us

It's not enough and it leaves you tired

See you there in the sunlight

In the sunshine by the windowsill in the kitchen

And they'll call out with a name by which I'd never call you

All things being well still feel it was not enough
