Lyrics The Maccabees

The Maccabees

Pelican

So soon we're too old to carry

We knew we only had a little while

In the middle keep ticking over

Before you know it, parent a parent

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, 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

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

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

So soon we're too old to carry

We knew we only had a little while

In the middle keep ticking over

Before you know it, parent a parent

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
