Olive Tree (Live from Red Rocks)

[Intro]

Encores are so dumb

No-one- no- it doesn't make any sense

No, thank you guys, uh

We're gonna play another- another- another one off the new album, uh

It's called "Olive Tree"

And it's one of my- one of my favourites

Welcome back Adam Friedman, everyone, to the stage

We got 3 more songs for you Red Rocks, let's keep going

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

But 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

[Chorus]

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
