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 shoebox of photographs
with sepiatone 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 we're 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

it's always better when we're together
we'll look at them stars when we're together

and all of these moments
just might find there way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they'll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
but 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'll 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

it's always better when we're together
we're somewhere in between together

i believe in memories
they look so
so pretty when i sleep
hey now, and when i wake up
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
but there is not enough time
and there is 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

    General Comment:There was actually an interview with him at treehuggers.com, and he said that his friend was trying to hook up with some girl and he was making fun of how hard he was trying.

    General Comment:what i heard of this song is that jack wrote for a friend that was tryin to be with one girl but he never got to be with her and the only thing he did was think about her...so jack wrote this song as a joke for him to make him realize that thing we're better when they we're NOT together

    General Comment:soo... im officiallly in love with this song... i liked it before tonite... but now im seriously in love..

    this boy ive been talking to for the whole summer sang/played on his acoustic guitar this for me tonite and it made me fall in love haha. i really like, but even though he sung this im still not sure if he likes me or just choose it randomly to sing to me. but ill always have that adorable memory of listening to him sing over aim this song to me...

    i cant stop listening to it on repeat on itunes.... i have butterflies inside now haha.

    but i agree, i think the songs about a boy trying to get a girl to like him and saying that whenever they're together the things are better.

    but now... i officially love this song... and we'll see what happens with the boy... but im smiling ear to ear now! :] :] :]

    General Comment:I love this song, it's so bubbly and sweet. I went to his concert, and he explained that he wrote this song for a good friend of his, who had spent most of his life going after a girl, even though he knew hed never get her, and he wrote this song to give him a good laugh about it. I think the lyrics are adorable.
