Won't you come and meet me 

I'll take you out for breakfast 

And we'll be happy to be clinging on together ever more 

Ain't that what they always said this life was for 



It's the morning after 

And I won't see you later 

Watch the moon go down 

And sun come up today 

I might look tired 

But I have never been so awake 



And we used to laugh about growing old 

Yeah we used to laugh but it's too late now 



Down the stairs and hallway 

And to the Ivory Coast 

Meant two pieces 

Full of places I will never go 

But then through all the highs and lows 

You never know 



So won't you come and see me 

And I won't make you grieve me 

We'll write a letter to the government asking why 

We poured our lives 

Into nine to fives 

And now we're dry 



And we used to laugh about growing old 

Yeah we used laugh but it's too late now 



These are just laughter tears 

They are not real 

iPods and plasma screens 

Read like they feel 



We used to laugh about growing old 

Yeah we used to laugh but it's too late now
