better together



a happy song for this first happy day of may by a singer who makes me happy, jack johnson:



there's no combination of words
i could put on the back of a postcard
no song 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 sepiatone loving


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 its always better when we're together
its always better when we're together
look at the stars when we're together
its always better when we're together
yeah, its always better when we're together


and all of these moments
just might find there way into my dreams tonight
but i know that theyll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but tomorrow night you see
that theyll 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'll 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

it's always better when we're together
we're somewhere in between together
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
hey now, and when i wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
but there is not enough time,
and there is 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
