Dido - See You When You're 40 Home Hits 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
