Better
Together
There's no combination of
words
I could put on the back
of a postcard
No song 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 it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing
its always better when we're together
[Chorus:]
MMM its always better when
we're together
Look at the stars when we're
together
Its always better when we're
together
Yeah, its always better
when we're together
And all of these moments
Just might find there way
into my dreams tonight
But I know that theyll be
gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
But tomorrow night you see
That theyll be gone too
Too many things I have to
do
But if all of these dreams
might find there way
Into my day to day scene
Ill 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
Its always better when we're
together
We're somewhere in between
together
Its always better when we're
together
Yeah, its always better
when we're together
MMmmmm MMMmmmm Mmmmmm
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
Banana Pancakes
Cant you see that its just
raining
Aint no need to go outside...
But Baby, You hardly even
notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed
to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend
now
And we could pretend it
all the time
Cant you see that its just
raining
Aint no need to go outside
But just maybe, hala ka
ukulele
Mommy made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
Cause your my little lady
Lady lady love me
Cause I love to lay here
lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no
world outside
And we could pretend it
all the time
Cant you see that its just
raining
Aint no need to go outside
Aint no need aint no need
Mmmm MMmmm
Cant you see cant you see
Rain all day
And I don't mind.
The telephone is singing
Ringing its too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to we got
everything
We need right here
And everything we need is
enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits
inside of your arms
Don't really need to pay
attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, yeah wake
up slow
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed
to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend
now
And we could pretend it
all the time
Cant you see that its just
raining
Aint no need to go outside
Cant you see cant you see,
You gotta wake up slow
No Other Way
When your mind is a mess
so is mine
I cant sleep
cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at peace
with the plans that we make
chances we take
they're, not yours and not
mine
there's waves that can break
all the words that we say
and the words that we mean
words can fall short
can't see the unseen
cause the world is awake
for somebody's sake now,
please close your eyes woman
please get some sleep
And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you'd
know all the things that
i'd know
we told each other, there
is no other way
Well too much silence can
be misleading
You're drifting I can hear
it in the way that your breathing
We don't really need to
find reason
Cause out the same door
that it came well its leaving its leaving
Leaving like a day that’s
done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept
that's as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep,
its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to
go to sleep
And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you'd
know all the things that
i'd know
we told each other, there
is no other way
Staple It Together
Its really
too bad
he became a prisoner of
his own past
he stabbed a moment in the
back
with a brown thumb tack
that held up the list of
things he gotta do
Its really,
no good
he's moving on before he
understood
he shot the future in the
foot with every step it took
from the faces that he knew
cause he forgot to look
Better staple it together
and call it bad weather
staple it together and call
it bad weather X3
mm hmm
well I guess you could say
that he dont even know where
to begin
cause he looked both ways
but he was so afraid
diggin deeper through the
ditch
with every chance he missed
and the mess he made
cause hate is such a strong
word
And every brick he laid
a mistake they say
That his walls are getting
taller
his world is getting smaller
Better staple it together
and call it bad weather
staple it together and call
it bad weather X3
mm hmm
whoo
its really
too bad
he became a prisoner of
his own past
he stabbed a moment in the
back
with a brown thumb tack
that held up the list of
things he gotta do
Its really,
no good
hes moving on before he
understood
he shot the future in the
foot with every step it took
from the faces that he knew
cause he forgot to look
Better staple it together
and call it bad weather
staple it together and call
it bad weather X3
If the weather is better
we should get together
Spend a little time and
we can do whatever
and if we get together we'll
be twice as clever
So, staple it together and
call it bad weather, mm hmmm |
Never
Know
I hear this old story before
If people keep appealing
for the metaphors
Don't leave much up to the
imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery
back
No it just aint so easy
like that
So, I turn the page and
read the story again
And again and again
It just seems the same,
with a diff. name
We're breaking and rebuilding
And we're growing
Always guessing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
Were trying but where is
this all leading
Never Know
It all happened so much
faster
Than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse
And look at it backwards
From the last one
And maybe thats just the
answer
That we're after
But after all
We're just a bubble in a
boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain
of thought
The moments just combusting
Feel certain but we'll never
never know
Just seems the same
Give it a diff. name
We're beggin and we're needing
And we're trying and we're
breathing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
Helping, we're builign
And we're growing
Never Know
Knock knock on the door
to door
Tell ya that the metaphor
is better than yours
And you can either sink
or swim
Things are looking pretty
grim
If you dont believe in what
this one feeding
Its got no feeling
So I read it again
And again and again
Just seems the same
Too many different names
Our hearts are strong our
hands are weak
We'll always be competing
never knowing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
But the truth is
All we got is questions
We'll Never Know
Never Know
Never Know
Good People
You win
Its your show, now
so whats it gunna be
cause people
will tune in
how many train wrecks do
we need to see?
before we lose touch of
we thought this was low
It's bad gettin worse so
Chorus:
Whered all the good people
go
Ive been changin channels
I dont see them on the tv
shows
Whered all the good people
go
We got heaps and heaps of
what we sow
They got this and that and
with a rattle a tat
testing one two,
now whatcha gunna do?
bad news, misused,
got too much to lose
gimme some truth
now whos side are we on?
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube
Im in the mood to obey
so lead me astray by the
way, now
Where'd all the good people
go?
I've been changin channels
I dont see them on the tv
shows
Whered all the good people
go
We got heaps and heaps of
what we sow
Sitting round feeling far
away
so far away but I can feel
the debris
can you feel it?
yo interrupt me from a friendly
conversation
to tell me how great its
all gunna be
you might notice some hesitation
cause whats important to
you is not important to me
Way down by the edge of
your reasons
its beginning to show
and all I wanna know is..
Whered all the good people
go
Ive been changin channels
I dont see them on the tv
shows
Whered all the good people
go
We got heaps and heaps of
what we sow
They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, gimme
some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on?
Whatever you say
Run the resolut but in the
mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing
the nation
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
Now I was sitting waiting
wishing
that you believed in superstitions
then maybe you'd see the
signs
But Lord knows that this
world is cruel
and I ain't the Lord, no
I'm just a fool
and in loving somebody don't
make them love you
Must I always be waiting
waiting on you?
Must I always be playing
playing the fool?
I sing ya songs I dance
a dance
I gave ya friends all a
chance
putting up with them wasn't
worth never having you
and maybe you been through
this before
but its my first time
so please ignore
the next few lines cause
they're directed at you
I cant always be waiting
waiting on you
I cant always be playing
playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
but its not my scene
wont this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then
shooting me down
well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I'd wondered why'd it taken
me so long
But Lord knows that I'm
not you
and If I was I wouldn't
be so cruel
cause waiting on love ain't
so easy to do
Must I always be waiting
waiting on you?
Must I always be playing
playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting
waiting on you
I cant always be playing
playing your fool, foool |
