See You When You`re 40 Lyrics

See You When You`re 40 lyrics




I've driven round in circles for three hours

It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your

I temporarily forgot there's better days to come

I thought that I would give it just one more chance



Cos' I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for

But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about



You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all

Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special

All energy no meaning, with a lot of words

So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down



And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about

I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind



So see me when your 40, lost and all alone

being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know

not sad because you lost me

but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad



You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd

well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out

I wouldn't have picked you out



now I've seen, tonight, how I could waste my time

and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back

cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about

your just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back
