Our Lady Peace
"Better Than Here"

I looked, I looked up to the sky
Your face was drawn in black and white
Tonight, we're stuck inside a lie
And the fear is we won't get out alive

The stink, it's in the air
And the air, it's getting thin

Where you going
As fast as you can run?
And where you going
Do you hide it behind the sun?

Stay down low
And stay down where you are
And where you going
Is it better than here?

The truth, oh, we've turned into a joke
And it's true, I'd give anything to hold you
Tonight, tonight I stay
But you, oh, you slip away

And where you going
As fast as you can run?
And where you going
Do you hide it behind the sun?

Stay down low
And stay down where you are
And where you going?
Don't let them come after you

I trip, trip, trip in vain
And lie, lie, lie to me
I trip, trip, trip in vain
I'd like to get away

You like it like you do
I'd like to be with you
I'd like to live up there
But I wake up oh, I wake up
And I wake up, and I wake up
And I am here

Tonight, I'm stuck here
And tomorrow I, I disappear

And where you going
As fast as you can run?
And where you going
Do you hide it behind the sun?

Stay down low
And stay down where you are
'Cause it's better than
Oh, it's better than before
