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 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 woah 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 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
Cos the photographs show the wrong man Cos 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
