              ^
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
                                 
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



[Chorus:]
*                *                     * *
MMM it's always better when we're together
                         *                     * *
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
                    *                     * *
Well, it's always better when we're together
                    * (hold)
Yeah, 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
               ^
And 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
              *                        * *
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
                   *                      * *
Well, it's always better when we're together
                   *(hold)                    
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
              *
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, no song I could sing
             *                  *
And there is no, combination of words I could say
             *                 * (hold)
But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.
