Better Together

Sometimes the only thing that can lift a heavy heart, can be the most simple thing - hearing that perfect song.  There is nothing like escaping to your favorite spot, tuning everything out, and getting away from it all.  Yesterday, I was inspired by one of my favorite musicians, Jack Johnson.  I found myself singing along to his music and enjoying another beautiful Summer day under the trees. The combination of Jack Johnson's music and lyrics always lifts my spirits.  It seems like whenever I hear his voice, I am instantly transported back to Hawaii, and I somehow feel the cool breeze of the island trade winds.  

"Better Together"
 Jack Johnson

There is 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 sepia-toned 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 it's 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

Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments

Just might find their way into my dreams tonight

But I know that they'll be gone

When the morning light sings

And brings new things

For 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'd 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 now

Mmm, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together

Well, it's always better when we're together

Yeah, it's always better when we're 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, 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.
