The Maccabees - William Powers lyrics

rate me

There is love

There is lust

There is love fuelled lust

Little thing called trust

Which I must not break, for you

Forsaking all others but you

There are storms

I must brave

There are things I must do

Things I must not do to break, for you

Forsake all others for you

And I'll see you when you’re older

When we're older

And I'll see you when you’re older

When we're older

Strong arms they held you to it

That’s what they are singing in the shadows

There’s all this nonsense in the dark

We may bend

No doubt stretch

Pull at the seams

Of these four legged jeans

For what is at stake

I will not break, for you

Forsake all others for you

And I'll see you when you’re older

When we're older

And I'll see you when you’re older

When we're older

And in faith I left you to it

That’s what they sing in the shadows

There’s all this nonsense in the dark

Left you in strong arms

Two strong arms that held you through it

And I blew it

And I blew it

Now now now now now

There's something in it

Now now now now now

We've grown up with it

Now now now now now

We know, if that's enough

Then that's enough for now
