lyrics

OLIVIA

There is a storm that rips through all the houses
Tears them apart, leaving all disaster
You are the wind that makes it just get stronger
You are the wind

There is a rain that stays for 18 days
And knocks down the trees, and washes them away
You are the cloud that lingers high above
The ominous shroud

Olivia, Olivia

You are a fire that starts just as an ember
Then comes the wind and gets you all riled up
And you blaze across the wilderness
Until the ocean meets your match

There is an ache that turns into a pain
And soon you can’t move
And it withers you away
But you love this state, and everyone will say
You welcome this pain

Olivia, Olivia

Bridge: (Repeat in a round)
I will be your sun
Whoever knocks you down
Don’t fire all your guns

Instrumental
Olivia, Olivia, Olivia, Olivia
