  2. Better Together by: Jack Johnson • This song was written and made famous by Jack Johnson in February 2005 on his album “In Between Dreams”. • Johnson: "It's been around for a little while. I had the first verse, and I was always tooling around with that. And then the second verse came along later. It was a song that was pretty much complete (before entering the studio). It was really just a song that I wrote for my wife. The love songs always start out for her, but then I try to make them pretty broad so they're for everybody by the end."

  3. Lyrics: • There's no combination of wordsI could put on the back of a postcardNo song that I could singBut I can try for your heart, our dreams, and they are made out of real thingslike a shoebox of photographswith sepia-toned lovingLove is the answerat least for most of the questions in my heart, likeWhy are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?It's not always easy andsometimes life can be deceivingI'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're togetherMmmm, It's always better when we're togetherYeah we'll look at the stars and we're togetherWell, it's always better when we're togetherYeah it's always better when we're togetherAnd all of these momentsjust might find their way into my dreams tonight,But I know that they’ll be gonewhen the morning light singsand brings new thingsfor tomorrow night you seethat they’ll be gone too,too many things I have to doBut if all of these dreams might find their wayinto my day to day sceneI'd be under the impressioni was somewhere in betweenWith only two,Just me and you,Not so many things we got to door places we got to beWe'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,Yeah It's always better when we're togetherMmmm, we're somewhere in between togetherWell, it's always better when we're togetherYeah, it's always better when we're together[MmmMmmmmMmm, MmmMMmmM]I believe in memoriesthey look so, so pretty when I sleepHey now, and when I wake up,you look so pretty sleeping next to meBut there is not enough time,There is no, no song I could singand there is no combination of words I could saybut I will still tell you one thingWe're Better together

  4. Meaning • Things are hard but when he's with this girl everything seems alright and life isn't hard anymore. • I think he's trying to apologize to a girl, but can't use words to apologize. He just has to remind her of their great times together. • Pretty much it means that life is hard, and being with someone you love makes it so much easier. There is no way to describe the way it feels to be in love.If you asked me to write a paper on how love feels, I would be left with a blank paper.You know it when you feel it.

  5. How does this song make you feel? • This song makes me feel good. I love Jack Johnson. All of his songs are very comforting. • “This song pumps me up. It’s the exact same things I’m going through right now.” • “This song makes me happy.” – Hannah Bryson • “This song makes me feel so good” – Britney Miller
