  • Can't reach the moon now
    Can't turn the tide
    The world looked different
    When God was on your side
    Who builds the future?
    Do they care why?
    I know you're tired of tryin'
    Listen clearly, you don't have to try

    Capricorn
    The year that you were born
    Finished fast
    And the next one wasn't yours
    Too old for dyin' young
    Too young to live alone
    Sifting through centuries
    For moments of your own

    Alone and wounded
    But in my prime
    I called the hospital
    They didn't have the time
    I'd seen it comin'
    It's no surprise
    I know you're tired of tryin'
    Listen clearly, you don't have to try

    Capricorn
    The year that you were born
    Finished fast
    And the next one wasn't yours
    Too old for dyin' young
    Too young to live alone
    Sifting through centuries
    For moments of your own

    A hundred dollars
    On someone's dime
    I looked for answers there
    They weren't mine to find
    Good days are comin'
    Not just to die
    I know you're tired of tryin'
    Listen, baby, you don't have to try

    Capricorn
    The year that you were born
    Finished fast
    And the next one wasn't yours
    Too old for dyin' young
    Too young to live alone
    Sifting through centuries
    For moments of your own

    Capricorn
    The year that you were born
    Finished fast
    And the next one wasn't yours
    Too old for dyin' young
    Too young to live alone
    Sifting through centuries
    For moments of your own Writer/s: Chris Thompson, Ezra Koenig
