See You When You're 40
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, a 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.
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.
What I've been warned about.
