Cover art for Pelican lyrics by Maccabees, The

From the band's official website:

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

Albums Given To The Wild Wall of Arms Colour It In Songs Pelican Lyrics

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
