Dido - See You When You're 40 Lyrics

I've driven round in circles for 3 hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your's
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

'Cause 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 you when you're 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
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

'Cause I've seen
Tonight
What I've been warned about
You're just a boy
Not a man
And I'm not coming back
And I'm not coming back
