[Music From the Baul] Better Together

Better Together
By Jack Johnson

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

And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart 

And our dreams and they are made out of real things 

Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned 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, it’s always better when we’re together  


It’s always better when we’re together  

We’ll look at the stars when we’re together  

It’s always better when we’re together 

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



It’s always better when we’re together  

We’re somewhere in between together  

Well it’s always better when we’re together 

It’s always better when we’re together



I believe in memories they look 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 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
