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 woah!
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 woah!
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 can do so much
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 photograph
showed 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 gloat
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
