Making Friends at 40

Lyrics
Is this what we’ve come to? Now that we’re reaching middle age And we’ve left all youthful exuberance behind A tolerable lifestyle and a reasonable wage With few fun distractions left to find Has the calling The sole ambition of our youth That burning yearning need to find our place Pacified by years of learning that one finds deeming it uncouth Leaving only lines from the false smiles on ones face We’re Making Friеnds, at 40 Yes we’re making friеnds, at 40 This is not how I imagined midlife to be It’s really quiet exhausting in all honesty Because we’re Making Friends, at 40 When it’s nice to make a friend But with so many compromises We may well have to pretend What’s the connection? How were we fated now to meet? Or have I met you many other times before? Did you marry an acquaintance? Did you move in down the street? Please forgive me for these days I’ve never sure Are you really curious? Or pretending that you care? A folly of which you were once vaguely aware It’s boring you as well, the conversation leaves us short And I can’t disguise my yawning when the subject turns to sport We’re Making Friends, at 40 Yes we’re making friends, at 40 Being forced to behave like a proper a**** Meeting all types of people One can’t help but insult We’re Making Friends, at 40 When it’s nice to make new friends Now that Weddings, Births and Funerals Make for action packed weekends What would we have to say If we could see ourselves then now stood around a barbecue Trying to heat up half a cow in polite conversations Feigning interests to be nice Discussing the re-mortgage to get some free financial advice We’re Making Friends, at 40 Yes we’re making friends, at 40 We can’t handle our booze Like we did once before Which makes inane interactions even more of a chore We’re Making Friends, at 40 When it’s nice to make a friend We need to get home for dogs and baby sitters Brings the night to a swift end
