See You When You're 40 I've driven round in circles for 3 hours It was bound to happen that I'd end up at yours 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've found tonight What I'd been warned about
You think 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, no one revealing 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 you when you're 40
Lost and all alone Being comforted by strangers Who never need to know Not sad because you lost me, sad because you thought it was cool to be sad You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd If you walked by me today I wouldn't have picked you out I wouldn't have picked you out I wouldn't have picked you out
Now I've seen tonight How could I 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 wrong about You're just a boy, not a man And I'm not coming back
And I'm not coming back What I've been wrong about
