better together
There is no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And 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 tone loving
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
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 a way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or 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
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between 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
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

plus, to give credit where credit's due, mraz came through much later than jack johnson. so if anything, mraz should be the new johnson no?

My favourite Jack Johnson song is "Belle". it always makes me chuckle to myself. Lyrics and translation below:
BELLE by Jack Johnson
Oye Lienda,
Bella Que fal?
Bonita,
Bonita Que tal?
But, Belle,
Je ne comprends pas francais
So you'll have to speak to me
Some other way.
Translation:
(Portuguese) Hey Beautiful
(Italian) Beautiful, how ya doin'?
(Spanish) Beautiful, how are you?
But,
(French) Babe, I don't understand..French
So you'll have to speak to me
Some other way.
