William Powers - The Maccabees

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

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

That’s enough

Then that’s enough for now
