Better Than This Lyrics

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, a refracted sun
(oh ah oh)
I can see all the things I wish that I'd done

You can hang your hopes on the bedsits
You can put your faith in the foreign
You can tell yourself you can do 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 wouldn't want it anyway

Just a photograph from the 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 the same
And everyone will never go
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
