“When We Are Together” is the final song included in The 1975’s fifth studio album ‘Being Funny in a Foreign Language’.

[Verse 1]
Our first kiss was Christmas in the Walmart toy department
She said, "I should take you with me when I leave"

You ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's somethin' about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together
(Oh, together)

I didn't know that it had its own word
[Chorus]
You still ask about the cows, wearin' my sweater
It's something about the weather that makes them lie down
The only time I feel I might get better is when we are together

The album was finished with. ‘About You’ was Track 11 and there was a Track 10 called ‘This Feeling.’ But because of what the song was about, and also sonic reasons, I was like, ‘That song can’t be on the album.’ But we had to deliver it in four days. So, I said if I could get to New York tomorrow,...
It just is the end of that record. It then goes back to the beginning. It doesn’t play with that will they or won’t they split up, you know. It’s the end of the series. End of season 5.
