We Can Get Together Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She played "Heaven Isn't Happening"
She played "Heaven Is a Truck"
She said Heavenly was cool
I think they were from Oxford
I only had one single
It was a song about a pure and simple love


[Verse 2]
There's a girl on Heaven Hill
I come up to her cabin still
She said Hüsker Dü got huge, but they started in St. Paul

Do you remember "Makes No Sense At All"?

[Verse 3]
And heaven is the whole of the heart
And paradise is by the dashboard light
Utopia's a band, they sang "Love Is the Answer,"
And I think they're probably right

[Chorus]
Let it shine down on us all
Let it warm us from within
He wasn't just the drummer
He was the singer's younger brother

I still spin that single, but it don't sound that simple
Let it shine down on us all
Let it warm us from within
He wasn't just the drummer
He was someone's little brother

I still spin that single, but it don't sound that simple anymore
[Outro]
Heaven is whenever we can get together
Sit down on your floor, and listen to your records

Heaven is whenever we can get together
Lock your bedroom door, and listen to your records
Heaven is whenever we can get together
Heaven is whenever

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

In one interview Craig says it’s almost a nod to a Built to Spill song. Not sure which one though.
