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
