Lyrics

So soon we, so soon we
So soon we too old to carry
And we knew we, and we knew we
And we knew we only had a little while
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle, just keep ticking over
Before you know it, before you know it
Before you know, they pair and pair
And ooohhh
Oooohhh

To have it all, to have it all
To have it all, and still want more
One thing's for sure, one thing's for sure
One thing's for sure, we're all getting older
So we take a lover, so we take a lover
So we take a lover, waitin' in the corner
And before you know it, before you know it
Before you know we're pushing up the daisies
Oooohhh!

And we're going back to where we came from
For those we fall and those to come and all is the effort
And the more
And again and again and again and again we go
In the end, in the end
In the end, nothing comes easy
So you find a way, so you find a way
So you find a way to take a little with you
For the ones you love, for the ones you love
For the ones you love, are there if they need to
The hero, the hero, the hero
They're not coming with you

Go back to where we came from
For those we fall and those to come and owe is the effort
And the more
And again and again and again and again
Go!
Ooohhh!

So soon we, so soon we
So soon we too old to carry
And we knew we, and we knew we
And we knew we only had a little while
In the middle, in the middle
In the middle, just keep ticking over
Before you know it, before you know it
Before you know they pair and pair

And go back to where we came from
For those we fall and those to come and owe is the effort
And the more
And again and again and again and again
Go!
Go!
