Better When You're Around

Verse

Suitcase by the doorway, six a.m. light

Your toothbrush still in the glass, you packed it last night

Steam on the window, I wrote your name

Watched it fade like the way we used to be the same

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

And still keep the warmth in my hands

Tell me how I'm supposed to know

Where a good thing ends

Chorus

Everything's a little better when you're around

Colors hit different, softer kind of sound

I'm still smiling even though you're leaving town

'Cause everything's a little better when you're around

Verse

Two years of Sunday coffee, cracked leather chair

Now it's just me and the ghost of your laugh in the air

But I keep the picture, taped by the light

Not to hold the sadness, just to hold it right

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

And still keep the warmth in my hands

Tell me how I'm supposed to know

Where a good thing ends

Chorus

Everything's a little better when you're around

Colors hit different, softer kind of sound

I'm still smiling even though you're leaving town

'Cause everything's a little better when you're around

Bridge

Maybe love ain't about the staying

Maybe it's the mark it leaves

Like the sun after it's fading

Still got gold caught in the trees

So I'll take the good you gave me

Wear it like a favorite song

And somewhere down this road you're taking

I bet it plays for you along

Chorus

Everything's a little better 'cause you were around

Colors hit different, I still hear the sound

I'm still smiling even though you're out of town

'Cause everything got better when you were around

Everything got better when you were around
