Better With You
Kris Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
In the middle of the pouring rain
On a crowded subway train
When I’m just about to go insane
Monday morning in a traffic jam
And I’m going to be late again
The world is getting underneath my skin
I see you smiling
And know that it’s going to be okay
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Girl when I’m alone
You’re where I belong
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Oh oh
Baby it’s always better with you
You make a bad day better than good
You make me feel better than I should
You understand when I misunderstood
Like no one else ever could
And girl you show me things I never see
If you were never there to see them with me
And when I get a little too crazy
You are my sanity
And everything will be okay
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Girl when I’m alone
You’re where I belong
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Oh oh
Baby it's always better with you
Girl it doesn’t matter where we go
'Cause you always make it feel like it’s home
When I’m with you
Oh oh oh
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Girl when I’m alone
You’re where I belong
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
Stay by my side
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Wherever I go, whatever I do
You’re where I belong
Baby it’s always better
It’s always better with you.

Wherever I go
No matter where I venture in this world
Whatever I do
No matter what I take on or what I face
Stay by my side
Be with me, my sweet love
'Cause baby it’s always better with you
Because everything is just sweeter, warmer, and easier with you by my side
In the middle of the pouring rain
During those times when things seem hopeless and the storm rages on
On a crowded subway train
On those packed and claustrophobic subway rides
When I’m just about to go insane
When I'm losing my grip and my mind feels like it's slipping away
You make it go away
You bring sense to the madness and make the pain fade away
Monday morning in a traffic jam
Sitting in the standstill of the morning commute
And I’m going to be late again
And I know that I'll likely have to apologize for being tardy again
The world is getting underneath my skin
The world around me is burrowing into my mind and causing a mental commotion
I see you smiling
But then I see your beautiful smile
And know that it’s going to be okay
And with that smile, I remember that everything will work out
Girl when I’m alone
When I'm by myself, without you near
You’re where I belong
I feel like I fit and have a purpose when I'm with you
You make a bad day better than good
You have the power to turn my day around, even when it's been a terrible one
You make me feel better than I should
You make me feel like I'm more than I am, like anything is possible with you
You understand when I misunderstood
You're the only one who can see my mistakes and still make sense of them
Like no one else ever could
You're the only one who sees me clearly and for who I am
And girl you show me things I never see
You bring new experiences, sights, sounds, and feelings to my life
If you were never there to see them with me
If you were never beside me, sharing in these new moments
And when I get a little too crazy
During those moments when I become too overwhelmed or act impulsively
You are my sanity
You're the grounding and balancing force that keeps me in line
Girl it doesn’t matter where we go
The physical location doesn't matter
'Cause you always make it feel like it’s home
You make every place into a warm and inviting space
When I’m with you
When I'm beside you
Wherever I go, whatever I do
No matter what my future holds or where my career takes me
You’re where I belong
You are my true home and heart
Baby it’s always better with you
Everything is just sweeter, warmer, and easier with you by my side
It’s always better with you.
Because you are my light in the dark, my hope in times of despair, my true love forevermore

僕がどこへ行こうとも
僕が何をしようとも
僕の側に居て
君と一緒なら全てが上手くいくから
土砂降りの雨の中や
満員電車の中
気が狂いそうになる時でも
君はどこかへ吹き飛ばしてくれる
月曜の朝の渋滞
また遅刻しそうだ
この世界は僕を嫌な気分にさせる
だけど君の笑った顔が浮かんで
何もかも上手くいくのがわかるんだ
僕がどこへ行こうとも
僕が何をしようとも
僕の側に居て
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
僕が孤独な時
君のことを考えてる
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
Oohhh Ohhh
君と一緒なら全てが上手くいくんだ
君は僕の嫌な1日を最高の1日にする
君は僕を必要以上に気分を良くさせてくれる
君は僕が誤解だった時も理解してくれる
誰もそんなことはできないよ
君は僕が見たことないものを見せてくれる
君と一緒にいなかった時
僕は少しクレイジーになる
でも君が僕を正気にさせる
全て上手くいくんだ
僕がどこへ行こうとも
僕が何をしようとも
僕の側に居て
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
僕が孤独な時
君のことを考えてる
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
Ooooh Ooooh
君と一緒なら全てが上手くいく
Girl it doesn't matter where we go
Cuz you always make it feel like it's home
When I'm with youuu
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
僕がどこへ行こうとも
僕が何をしようとも
僕の側に居て
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
僕が孤独な時
君のことを考えてる
君と一緒なら上手くいくんだ
僕がどこへ行こうとも
僕が何をしようとも
僕の側に居て
君と一緒ならいつも上手くいくんだ
僕が孤独なとき
君のことを考えてる
君と一緒なら全てが上手くいくから
