Better With You

(album: La Cienega - 2019)

Seventeen
We fell into it instantly
You were always next to me
Like that's how we were meant to be
We grew up
Built a little home for us
But hidden underneath the dust
The shadows of a broken trust

How we gonna know if it was ever real if we never followed through?
Hurts too much to say the way I really feel, so I never talk to you

But when we're together
Everything's better
Cause out here on my own
September's kinda cold
And I know I could never make it without you
I don't have the answers to put it back together
The only thing I know
Is I don't want a ghost
Cause even then I'd wished I know this much is true
I'm better with you

All the years
Thought that you were happy here
You smiled through your hidden tears
Shattered like a broken mirror
I was blind
Thought I had you memorized
I hope you know I always try
So can we start again tonight?

Cause when we're together
Everything's better
Cause out here on my own
September's kinda cold
And I know I could never make it without you
I don't have the answers to put it back together
The only thing I know
Is I don't want a ghost
Cause even then I'd wished I know this much is true

How we gonna know if it was ever real if we never followed through?
Hurts too much to say the way I really feel, so I never talk to you

But when we're together
Everything's better
Cause out here on my own
September's kinda cold
And I know I could never make it without you
I don't have the answers to put it back together
The only thing I know
Is I don't want a ghost
Cause even then I'd wished I know this much is true
I'm better with you
