Better Together
Jack Johnson 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 shoe box 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
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
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
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
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now and, 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
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together

There's no combination of words
我總是想不到應該在明信片後面
I could put on the back of a postcard
寫上甚麼樣的句子
No song that I could sing
我總是想不到有甚麼歌我可以唱
But I can try for your heart,
但為了唱進你的心，我可以試一下
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
我們的夢並不是虛無縹緲的，那是由現實的一點一滴累積出來
like a shoebox of photographs
像是放滿滿一個鞋盒的、
with sepia-toned loving
帶著懷舊暖意的照片。
Love is the answer
愛就是那唯一的答案，
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
至少解答了我心目中大部分的問題
Why are we here? And where do we go?
像是為什麼我們會在這？我們又該往何處？
And how come it's so hard?
還有，為什麼活著那麼困難？
It's not always easy and
真的，人生並不總是輕鬆
sometimes life can be deceiving
有時候它只具有美好的假象
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together
但讓我告訴你，只要我們在一起就會比較好了
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
嗯，只要我們在一起就會比較好了
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
只要我們在一起，我們就可以望著滿天星星
Well, it's always better when we're together
然後就真的比較好了，因為我們就在一起
Yeah it's always better when we're together
真的，只要我們在一起就好了。

I was introduced to this song yesterday!
It was sent to me, by a man I used to dream of when I was a child. I always wondered who the beautiful man was that I dreamt of. I would dream of him as an adult still wondering who he was.
Well I met this man buy only on-line. I seen his picture in a group from Facebook page. I recognized him not knowing why.
I talked to him but he did not have much to say. Then months to later he commented on a post I put on. I told him we had spoken before.
Its been awhile now we have been talking.
I told him of my dreams with him in them. Im not sure he believes me. I hope so.
Anyway, we have been talking awhile. We have many things in common. I hope to meet him face to face on day. He lives so very far from myself.
His time zone is 9.5 hours ahead of mine. So we talk either very late early in morning for me. Or visa versa.
This MAN, the one I would dream of as a child to date.
He was and is THE MAN OF MY DREAMS!
The man I get to spend knowing until the day I die. Be it as just friends or as partners.
I TRULY got a chance to meet the man in my dreams!!!
How Incredibly amazing is that!!!

I remember Jack Johnson did a charity thing when I was a kid. He promised that whichever school gathered the most plastic bottles for recycling would get a personal concert in the playground. That concert was the best day in my tiny 3rd grade life.
