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 all the neighbors
even the one with the facelift and the shoes
And we can 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 the 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 it seems 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
