Dido See You When Youre 40

Ive driven round in circles for three hours

It was bound to happen that Id end up at your

I temporarily forgot theres better days to come

I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cos I want, tonight, what Ive been waiting for

But I found, tonight, what Id been warned about

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all

Well its taken me a while to see, youre not so special

All energy no meaning, with a lot of words

So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

And Ive seen, tonight, what Id been warned about

Im gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see me when your 40, lost and all alone

being comforted by strangers youll 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 wouldnt have picked you out

I wouldnt have picked you out

now Ive seen, tonight, how I could waste my time

and Ill be on my way, and I wont be back

cos Ive seen, tonight, what Ive been warned about

your just a boy, not a man, and Im not coming back
