[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm learning to love you less
You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched them turn blue
As the cinders fell on memories of you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm okay now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close them for now

[Chorus]
And I'm on my way out to paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you sets me free

[Verse 2]
You'd leave mе notes 'round the house
Thеn you're gone
Said things like, "I'm out.", "I'll be late.", "Don't wait up"
I let you keep your distance
But I hated keeping mine
If you loved me you would learn to compromise

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm okay now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close them for now
Close them for now
[Chorus]
And be on my way out to paradise
(I'm on my way, out to paradise)
There's a world away that's waiting for me
(I know you've been waiting)
Waves always break when you're on my mind
(Waves always break, you're on my mind)
Now the absence of you sets me free
And I'm on my way out to paradise
To a world that's out there waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you sets me free

[Outro]
Oh, the absence of you sets me free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
