[English]

When the lights in my street go out and

All the people lie sleeping under clouds and

They're dreaming of better than this

Then my brother calls me and he's sayin'

Oh, I can hear the angels praying

That we can do better than this

'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high

I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly"

I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this

I heard a language I thought I can't speak

I saw an ocean I thought was too deep

I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this

And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go

And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know

The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this

When the riddles and the puzzles find me

I wanna let the darkness hide me

But I know there is better than this

And I'm shouting 'cause I see my failings

My fears, my faults, I'm raging

'Cause I know that I'm better than this

'Cause I saw a mountain, I thought it's too high

I heard the birds whisper, "You can't fly"

I saw you and I knew I can do better than this, better than this

I heard a language I thought I can't speak

I saw an ocean I thought was too deep

I see you and I know we can do better than this, better than this

And I know you'll take me anywhere I wanna go

And I know you'll make me learn everything that I wanna know

The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this

The truth of it is, it doesn't get better than this

...

Only when we discover, that's when we find each other

That's when we both get better than this

...
