Life Is Better With You
Michael Franti Spearhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day's not Valentine's,
But you make it feel like most of the time,
When I'm all alone with you.
Pickin up pieces of my life,
Sometimes there's ones I just can't find,
But they found a home with you.

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
These days, life is better with you.
Life is better.

Tell me what you want, I'll give you all
That you need with my heart and my hands,
Sayin please baby please because nobody does
That thing you do better than you.
Thoughts still swimmin round in my head
With all the words we've ever said.
My favorites remain, "I love you."

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better

Every day's not Valentine's,
But you make me feel it most of the time with you, you.
And all my life I've tried to find the one
Who makes me feel the way you do, you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.





Woah, woah, life is better with you. [x5]

[LYRICS]

Every day's not Valentine's,
But you make it feel like most of the time,
When I'm all alone with you.
Pickin up pieces of my life,
Sometimes there's ones I just can't find,
But they found a home with you.

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.

And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
These days, life is better with you.
Life is better.

Tell me what you want, I'll give you all
That you need with my heart and my hands,
Sayin please baby please because nobody does
That thing you do better than you.
Thoughts still swimmin round in my head
With all the words we've ever said.
My favorites remain, "I love you."

Woah, I'm not afraid to be alone,
But being alone is better with you.
Life is better with you.

Woah, woah, life is better with you.
Woah, woah, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better

Every day's not Valentine's,
But you make me feel it most of the time with you, you.
And all my life I've tried to find the one
Who makes me feel the way you do, you.

Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
Some days are better than other days,
But these days, life is better with you.
And when I think about the things that we've been through,
I know just one thing is true, life is better with you.


Woah, woah, life is better with you. [x5]

I hope all of you cherish and honor the person you love. It's so easy to get wrapped up in b.s. Remember to always honor and love that person who shares their heart with you.

@luciferthedoberman8991

I will

@mscosmogrl01

This guy seems to have life figured out. Be grateful, joyful and playful. Express love and acceptance. Happiness will surely follow.
