I was lost on the dark side, 
'Till you crashed into my life 
We were scarred by the bright lights, 
Falling stars through the night sky 
I know we're broken parts, 
But ain't that just who we are?

We should be together-gether, yeah 
We can reach the sun if we're one, that's easy 
Everything's just better, better, yeah 
When I'm locked inside, 
You're the ties that free me 
Yes, we should be together-gether, yeah 
Together we hurt, together we take it 
(together-gether yeah) 
Together we fall, we'll never be breaking 
(together-gether yeah) 
If we were apart, I know that we'd fade away 
(together-gether yeah) 
Together we are, together we make it 

Everything that we both know, 
Summer nights left me so cold 
Let me dream of this fair love, 
All the things that I'm scared of 

We should be together-gether, yeah 
We can reach the sun if we're one, that's easy 
Everything's just better, better, yeah 
When I'm locked inside, 
You're the ties that free me 
Yes, we should be together-gether, yeah 

Together we hurt, together we take it 
(together-gether yeah) 
Together we fall, we'll never be breaking 
(together-gether yeah) 
If we were apart, I know that we'd fade away 
(together-gether yeah) 
Together we are, together we make it 

I know we're far apart, 
I don't know where to start 
And I know what the people say, 
But I choose your love anyway 

Yeah, love so good ye coulda signed 
Got the one thing I couldn't buy 
Niggas so mad when I walk through 
With you on my arm, what they gon' do? 
Woman in my life, you're the top two 
Hi Mom! Lights on, lights off 
Dylon, rap like this, you're an icon 
Blue dream sounding like a pipe bomb 
You and me together, maybe we could do it 
Worst summer ever but we got through it 
Talk about the money, I was getting to it 
Where you wanna go, where you wanna go? 
Yeah! Let a nigga know, let a nigga know 
They ain't gotta know, they ain't gotta know, uh! 

We should be together-gether, yeah 
We can reach the sun if we're one, that's easy 
Everything's just better, better, yeah 
When I'm locked inside, you're the ties that free me 
We should be together!
