Better Together Lyrics
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 sepiatone loving
love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart
why are we here
and where do we go
and how come we're 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 them stars when we're together
well 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 they'll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but 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'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
yeah it's always better when we're together
we're somewhere in between together
well its always better when we're together
yeah its 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
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 sepiatone loving
love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart
why are we here
and where do we go
and how come we're 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
we'll look at them stars when we're together
well its always better when we're together
yeah its always better when we're together
just might find there way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they'll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but 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'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
we're somewhere in between together
well its always better when we're together
yeah its always better when we're together
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

I LOVE THIS SONG!
the meaning is pretty obvious. things are hard but when he's with this girl everything seems alright and life isn't hard anymore.
"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 we're so hard"
wow. this song is amazing. i'm really digging the new album so far.
I think he's trying to apologize to a girl, but can't use words to apologize. He just has to remind her of their great times together.
"there's no combination of words i could put on the back of a postcard no song that i could sing"
I'm going through the same thing right now. There's no words I can possibly say to apologize to my girlfriend... except that we're better together.
my girlfriend and i are getting married this weekend 3/12 and we were struggling to find a song for our wedding. it is on the beach and very untraditional so we wanted to have a song that captured the feeling of our wedding as well as how we felt. we are both huge jack johnson fans and we bought in between dreams on the day it came out and to our surprise the very first song on the cd was perfect. it sayas exactly what we feel. so now we will be having our first dance as a married couple to this song. Thanks Jack!!
congrtzzz...^_^
congrtzzz...^_^
Id say, this song is due to a couple (or ex couple) being apart, and the realization that they are both "Better Together"... hmmm you look so pretty, sleeping next to me. I wish lol
definitely the strongest track from 'in between dreams'. as a few other people have noted, he does an exceptional job in conveying the idea of love through the lyrics... he's really good at making complex concepts seem so simplistic. i believe the term 'in between dreams' is a reference to the day time. ['all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight' meaning the memories you make with that special person are what you dream... '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' meaning that if you were able to continue to make these priceless memories with this person, then you would be 'under the impression' that you were in a state of in between a dream-like state and reality because the experiences you had with this person were so dream-like.] i think that the album title is based on this track as opposed to this song being based on the album titile.
soo... im officiallly in love with this song... i liked it before tonite... but now im seriously in love..
this boy ive been talking to for the whole summer sang/played on his acoustic guitar this for me tonite and it made me fall in love haha. i really like, but even though he sung this im still not sure if he likes me or just choose it randomly to sing to me. but ill always have that adorable memory of listening to him sing over aim this song to me...
i cant stop listening to it on repeat on itunes.... i have butterflies inside now haha.
but i agree, i think the songs about a boy trying to get a girl to like him and saying that whenever they're together the things are better.
but now... i officially love this song... and we'll see what happens with the boy... but im smiling ear to ear now! :] :] :]
I love this song soo much. I think it's just about two people who are crazy in love and things are just better when they're together <3
so many things we got to do...places we got to be...its always better when we're together... sooo true:)
haha that's so cool virgo0918. congratulations!
