Keane - Better Than This [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You could do so much
Better than this
You could do so much
Better than this

[Verse 2]
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, ah, oh)
I can see all the things
I wish that I'd done

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
You could do so much better than this

[Bridge]
Get a grip on yourself
Get a grip on yourself
Could have been something
But you're too late
And you weren't invited anyway

[Verse 4]
Cause the photographs
Show 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 glow
And everywhere, you'll see your name
In every shop window

[Chorus]
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
