"Better With You Around" is a romantic, acoustic-driven pop rock / folk rock song — a heartfelt tribute to a long-time love since high school. With warm guitars, gentle piano, and Elliot Greyson’s emotional storytelling, it celebrates the strength of love through the years. Nostalgic yet uplifting, it’s a song about gratitude, resilience, and the beauty of growing together.

Lyics:

We were just kids back in ‘99
Walking home slow, your hand in mine

Didn’t have much, but we sure had time
And I knew I’d be yours, and you’d be mine

Every road we’ve taken, every dream we’ve planned
Led me right here, still holding your hand

Life’s a little brighter, love’s a little stronger
Nights don’t feel as long, the days last longer
Through the years and the miles, one truth I’ve found
It’s all better, better with you around

First little apartment, barely got by
Laughing through tears when the bills ran high
We built a life with love as the ground
And it’s better, better with you around

If I had to do it all again
I’d still choose you, my love, my best friend

Life’s a little brighter, love’s a little stronger
Nights don’t feel as long, the days last longer
Through the years and the miles, one truth I’ve found
It’s all better, better with you around

Life’s a little brighter, love’s a little stronger
Through the years and the miles, one truth I’ve found
It’s all better, better with you around

Still the same feeling since those high school days
Better with you… forever this way
