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 more I look the more I find it hard to see I′m uncultured but I′m not quite sure what that means Why bring me down and complicate?
You take my words But then you hear them a different way The way you′re talking leaves Me not quite sure what to say We′re talking now But is it too late? Who′s listening now? Why won′t you
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
Do you remember when we talked for hours on end Just being stupid but at least we didn′t pretend Your smile helped me to find my way Who′s listening now? Why won′t you
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
I′ll dream this away And come back another day When I′m less afraid of it all
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
The more I look the more I find it hard to see I′m uncultured but I′m not quite sure what that means Why bring me down and complicate?
You take my words But then you hear them a different way The way you′re talking leaves Me not quite sure what to say We′re talking now But is it too late? Who′s listening now? Why won′t you
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
Do you remember when we talked for hours on end Just being stupid but at least we didn′t pretend Your smile helped me to find my way Who′s listening now? Why won′t you
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
I′ll dream this away And come back another day When I′m less afraid of it all
[Chorus:]
Find me and show me What do you want from me? There′s gotta be better than this I don′t wanna leave you But baby I need to There′s gotta be better than this Or we′ll never know
