Keane – Better Than This

Is this what we meant?
Is this
What we dreamed of?
When we were making
Your plans
Shaking a mud off?
Do we feel like you
And we belong?
(Oh, ah, oh)
Just keep your eyes
On a road
And zero 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 a time go?
Holding my sketch up
To a window
Through a paper
A refracted sun
(Oh, ah, oh)
I can see all a things
I wish that I’d done

You can hang your hopes
On a bedsits masses
You can put your faith
In a foreign
You can tell yourself
You can do your best
You could do so much
Better than this

Get a hold on yourself
Get a hold on yourself
Could have been something
But you’re too late
And you
Wouldn’t wish it anyway

Just a photograph
From a wrong time
‘Cause there
Is no soap star
Holding your hand
You can see yourself
In a freeze-frame
Must be someone else
Using your name

And everyone
Will be a same
And everybody will __
And everywhere
You’ll see your name
In each emporium window

It’s improved 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
