Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I pack my bags, I'm going away
I'm only leaving for a day
It's nice to have some time alone
And it's nice to know how I miss home
I wrote this song to let you know
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You're always with me in my head
I take you with me in my heart
It's better when I'm in your bed
It's better when we're not appart
I just can't do this alone
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You, you
Yeah, life's about the people who surround you
Love's the only thing it all comes down to
I just want you to know
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You, you
I'm only leaving for a day
It's nice to have some time alone
And it's nice to know how I miss home
I wrote this song to let you know
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You're always with me in my head
I take you with me in my heart
It's better when I'm in your bed
It's better when we're not appart
I just can't do this alone
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You, you
Yeah, life's about the people who surround you
Love's the only thing it all comes down to
I just want you to know
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better with you
I'm better because you give meaning to the words "I love you"
I'm better with you
I'm better because you are who I love to say those words to
You, you

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
"and i want to say that it's not always easy but it's simple that way" - i love this. he's saying, yeah i know it's hard, but it's always hard. you can always expect that.
"so you say it gets better it only gets better better this way better, maybe it's better this way" - have you ever had someone fight with you over a break up? they're telling you this is just a rough patch, and they want to work through it... it will get better, they promise. but you've had it... and you don't want to work through it anymore. at this point, it's just better this way.
and then when he says "it only gets better" ... to try and comfort her, my heart breaks. cause you know that girl is not hearing him. but it's true. no point in staying with someone that doesn't love you... such a sad song... but it's addicting.
this is definitely my favorite mraz tune. well, this one and I'm Yours... which is the total opposite, actually, now that i think about it. haha.
jason mraz is my hero.
