People of the city, I don’t need your council now.
— Foals
What is it that you want to do honey?
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
— The Maccabees
Distance teaches you to say what you mean. Express yourself through words. Trust, believe and hope in something beyond what you can see. Patience and control, letting you have little sips of things, appreciating what you have taken for granted. Teaches you the meaning of certain sentiments. Grow you into a being ready for the world ahead of you. You’re not afraid of separation. Good things come to those who wait.
— The Wise Old Man
