🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Sing it again — final chorus

  • 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
we'retogetherit's
