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
