See You When You're 40

Dido · Life For Rent [2003]

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
