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
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

I think the MEANING of this song is pretty straight forward. However, there might be some hidden meaning in the title. Why the hell is this song called "Pelican"?
I think the name refers to pelican crossings and the 'crossing' from child to adulthood but that's just my idea.
@wasmuthk I was baffled by that at first, but I am pretty sure it is because in ancient Egypt the pelican was associated with death and the afterlife. You can read more about that in the Wikipedia entry on the pelican, in the section about religion and mythology.
