Better Together
Ross Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes, I get in my own way
I need someone to say
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
Your words, they're always just in time
Just like a perfect rhyme
Like, you're not even trying
Without each other,
We're in trouble, trouble
Hey, I will always stay
By your side forever
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
'Cause we're better together
Like the waves need the sand to crash on
Like the sun needs a world to shine on
You're the bright side of every day
Me without you just isn't the same
Hey, I will always stay (stay)
By your side forever (ever)
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
We're better together
Uh-huh oh oh, uh-huh oh oh oh
