Life is Better With You Lyrics

Hey, whatever happened to you last night?
We thought we lost you there
Those long days
And long long nights
They keep you up inside

Stay awake all night talking about our friends
It never ends
Always do it when we're drunk
I just need some kind of meditation
Keep my feet from
Falling off the ground

Life is better with you

See the people on the street
Hear the sound of defeat
It just seems to me we know too many people
It makes the ones we love seem great

Life is better with you

It happens all the time
The people pass you by
Like everyone you knew
They are changing through and through
You really didn't think it would last
But thats all in the past

Life is better with you

See the people on the street
Hear the sound of defeat
Like everybody that you know
Say they all want you to go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think the title really speaks for itself: Life Is Better With You?

But it also touches on the unpreditability of people and who your going to end up loving, hating, even talking to on a day to day basis. Its quite a brilliant song and goes well with the title of the album "A Song is a City"....think about it ;) People are like cities; unpredictable, bustling and constantly changing and growing, coming and going. This song, its title, is saying that there is always people you cannot live without in your life, no matter who else is in it for however long, the ones that last are the ones that are true.
