[Verse 1]
1 AM, I'm losin' all my patience
2 AM, I swear I've hit my stride
3 AM, I'm wakin' up the neighbors
4 AM, the muse in me has died
But all I know is how to be perceived
(I don't really love you back)
(I don't really love you back, yeah)
Frankly, I don't know what to believe
(I don't really love like that)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna know the future
Don't tell me how it ends, though
If I come off as a loser
It's only 'cause I said so
I've been good
It's been good
But I know

[Chorus]
It could be better, it could be better
It could be bеtter, better, bеtter
It could be better, it could be better
(Ooh, ah-ah)
It could be better, it could be better
It could be better, better, better
It could be better, it could be better
[Verse 2]
But it never is, though
Man, I've only been to San Francisco
I could win an Emmy
I could win a Grammy and an Oscar
And all I'd have is my ego
Livin' the dream
Sleepin' through the nightmares
In the studio
Spendin' all my nights there
Might as well
Man, I might as well

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna know the future
Don't tell me how it ends, though
If I come off as a loser
It's only 'cause I said so
I've been good
It's been good
But I know

[Chorus]
It could be better, it could be better
It could be better, better, better
It could be better, it could be better
(Ahhh! Ah-ah!)
It could be better, it could be better
It could be better, better, better
It could be better, it could be better
[Interlude]
I know what you want
You wanna kill me!
You're crazy. Take it easy, kid
I just wanna talk to ya

[Bridge]
Don't stop
Now
Carry on
Heaven is a place we don't belong
So if you don't obey
Why'd you even come here anyway?
Don't stop
Now
Carry on
Heaven is a place we don't belong
So if you don't obey
Why'd you even come here anyway?
