When the lights in my street go out and All the people lie sleeping under clouds and They're dreaming of better than this Then my brother calls me and he's sayin' Oh, I can hear the angels praying That we can do better than this 'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly" I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this I heard a language I thought I can't speak I saw an ocean I thought was too deep I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this When the riddles and the puzzles find me I wanna let the darkness hide me But I know there is better than this And I'm shouting 'cause I see my failings My fears, my faults, I'm raging 'Cause I know that I'm better than this 'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly" I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this I heard a language I thought I can't speak I saw an ocean I thought was too deep I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this Only when we discover, that's when we find each other That's when we both get better than this

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 (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 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 photograph showed the wrong man (Showed the wrong man) 'Cause there is no soap star holding your hand (Holding your 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
