See You When You're 40 Lyrics - Life For Rent - Dido

I've driven round in circles for three 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 

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

But I 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 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
