Olive Tree

I could write a thousand songs about a breakup

Or I could watch the waves move and listen while I wake up next to you

I think I'll take option two

Let's buy a house in Paris, renovate the basement

Invite over the neighbors, even the one with the facelift and the shoes

And we could make chocolate tiramisu

When the one holdin' the world

Pullin' them strings, makin' it twirl

Decides we're finished and our time is up

I hope you know that I'll be there for you no matter what

When you come back as a bird

You're lookin' down across the Earth

Just tryin' to fit in

I'll be the olive tree that you live in

I can shed a tear for every time my heart broke

Or go stare out my window and watch as all the smart folks disagree

Man, that's no way to be free

I'm finally out of answers, I'm finally out of questions

Had to get my ass kicked to finally learn my lesson

And see that life's not all about me

When the one holdin' the world

Pullin' them strings, makin' it twirl

Decides we're finished and our time is up

I hope you know that I'll be there for you no matter what

When you come back as a bird

You're lookin' down across the Earth

Just tryin' to fit in

I'll be the olive tree that you live in
