Better Together


There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard

No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart

Our dreams and they are made out of real things

Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned lovin'

Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart, like

"Why are we here?" and, "Where do we go?"
And, "How come it's so hard?"
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together


Mmm, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, we'll look at them stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together


And all of these moments

Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do


But if all of these dreams
Might find their way into my day-to-day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be, we'll sit beneath the mango tree now
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time, and there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing, we're better together
