Caravan Lyrics

Commiting yourself to doing something and finding it hard to meet that commitment. When I listen to this song I think of the merchants travelling across the desert on camels, Caravans!

I think it's more specific than that. I think it' about starting a family, and realizing that you don't have the strength to finish what you started.

"And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it" can be understood to mean if mr. Coxon quits, his partner will feel the effects.
