Better than this

Is this what you meant?
Is this
What you dreamed of?
When you were making
Your plans
Shaking the dirt off?
Do you feel like you
And I belong?
(Oh, ah, oh)
Just keep your eyes
On the road
And nothing can go wrong
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
I´ve been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph up
To the window
Through the paper
And refracted sun
(Oh, ah, oh)
I can see all the things
I wish that I´d done
You can hang your hopes
On the medicine
You can put your faith
In the phone-in
You can tell yourself
You´re doing your best
You could do so much
Better than this
Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could have been something
But you´re too late
And you
Weren´t invited anyway
´Cause the photographs
Show the wrong man
´Cause there
Is no soap star
Holding your hand
You don´t see yourself
In the freeze frame
Must be someone else
Using your name
And everyone
Will be the same
And everyone will glow
And everywhere
You´ll see your name
In every shop window
It´s better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
Is this
What you dreamed of?
When you were making
Your plans
Shaking the dirt off?
Do you feel like you
And I belong?
(Oh, ah, oh)
Just keep your eyes
On the road
And nothing can go wrong
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
I´ve been checking my sums
Oh where did the time go?
Holding my photograph up
To the window
Through the paper
And refracted sun
(Oh, ah, oh)
I can see all the things
I wish that I´d done
You can hang your hopes
On the medicine
You can put your faith
In the phone-in
You can tell yourself
You´re doing your best
You could do so much
Better than this
Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could have been something
But you´re too late
And you
Weren´t invited anyway
´Cause the photographs

And everyone will glow
And everywhere

It´s better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this
