Better Than This Keane

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-oh
Just keep your eyes on the road
And nothing can go wrong

You can do so much better than this
You can 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-oh
I can see all the things I wish that I'd done

You can hang your hopes on the medicine (on the medicine)
You can put your faith in the phone-in (in the phone-in)

You can tell yourself you're doing your best (doing your best)
You can do so much better than this (better than this)

Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could've been something but you're too late
And you weren't invited anyway

'Cause the photographs show the wrong man (show the wrong man)
'Cause there is no soap star holding your hand (holding you hand)
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame (in the freeze frame)
Must be someone else using your name (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 can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
You can do so much better than this
