Keane - 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 masses
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 __
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

    "The Vampire Diaries" brought me here. I was re-watching my S1 Blu-Ray and wanted to hear the full version of this song.

  8. i.... ....

    I LOVE this song so much! You can tell it's very David-Bowie-inspired. That weird electronic sound sounds a lot like 'ashes to ashes'.

    i.... ....

    Thought the same thing

  9. n.... f....

    This is like an enormous musical number ... I LIKE IT

  18. C.... M....

    Its Phone in, i checked it in the book of the cd so rachelpie was wrong XD

  19. P.... S....

    No, 'in the phone-in' is right (out of the album booklet if you don't believe me :) )
    Besides, it wouldn't make much sense that way, would it?

  20. R.... ....

    Are the lyrics right?

    I thought it went "you can put your faith in the foreign" not "you can put your faith in the phone-in".

    R.... ....

    It's 100% phone-in.

  21. R.... L....

    This video is the better!

    Can I find something better than this?
    No!

    Good job!
