The Maccabees - 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
