Mac Lethal - Jake + Olive Lyrics
[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
His Name Was Jake O'Brian He Was 17,
Her Name Was Olive Finn,
She Was Everything To Him,
She Never Even Knew Him Till He
Walked Up To Her With A bouquet Of
Petunias, And A Heart So Pure,
And She Was So Pretty, He Thought She
Was The Prettiest Girl In Kilkenny,
Working On The Train Tracks So,
He Could Buy A Ring For Her
When He Came back, And He Dropped
To His Knee, Said You Could Marry
Any Man In Ireland Madam But It's
Got to Be Me,
But When She Said No,
He Felt He Had To Go, So he Traveled
To America On A Ferry Boat, But,
Then There Was The Void, Cause She Just
Couldn't Live Without Him, She Was Sick
Without Him, So She Filled Out Immigration
Papers,
And Showed Up On His Door Step 30 Days
Later And Said This,
[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
I Hope I Die Before You Do,
They Had 4 Kids Over 14 Years,
And Protected Each One From The Poor
Things Fierce, And Protected Each other
From The City It Was so Cruel,
In The Back Yard Watch The Summer
Weather Grow Cool
And It Was So Pretty, When Fall Came
It Transformed The Whole Entire City
There Was So Much Love' Within Them
That Olive Said To Jake I'm a Stay With
You forever On One Condition
Were Passionate Lovers, Every Night We
Sleep With Our Backs To Each other
Were Half Of Each other,
And I Don't Wanna Sleep One Night
Of My Life Knowing Your Aren't Next
To Me Hogging Half of The Covers,
Promise Me You'll Let Me Die First
Cause I Just Couldn't Live Without
You, I'd Be Sick Without You,
I'd Be A Devastated Lunatic Without You
You Wanna Make My Life Perfect,
This Is How to,
[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
I Hope I Die Before You Do,
They Got Old 80+ Years And This Was
True Love Not A Day Was Unclear,
Cause This Was True Friendship, So Even
When The Kids Went To College,
They Kept The Romance Polished
Jake+Olive, Knifed In The Back Yard
Oak Tree, Lemonade, Salad,
Butterscotch, Roast Beef, You Know
That Old Saying Pick Your Poison
Well Olive Was A Smoker, And Jake
He Was Smoke Free, Uh
So When it Came Down To It
Lung Cancer, Chest Tube,
Draining All The Fluid, Olive On Her Death
Bed Looked Him In The Eyes, But She
Didn't Have To Say A Thing Cause He
Already Knew It, She Closed Her Eyes
And Then She Went Through it,
Her Last Few Breaths Were Like Irish
Folk Music, He Told The People At The
Funeral That They Were Happy That You
Knew Us, And Covered Olive's Casket In
Petunias
And Then He Went Home,
He Didn't Feel Quite
Right Sleeping There Alone, He Was
Half Of A Whole, Cracked In The Soul,
He Sat There Alive But His Passion Was
Dull, He Missed Olive,
And He Was So Sick Without Her
Couldn't Live Without Her,
So He Gave His Final Will To His
Neighbors, Fell ill And Died Exactly
30 Days Later,
The Immigrants...

Mac Lethal Jake + Olive Comments
When I was in college I used this song in a presentation the teacher was willing to let it go to see where I was going with my tangent at the end of the class she asked me to stay behind we talked for awhile it ended in a hug and a human moment
said it all. and if not I bet you will soon! love this song, moving video. good work man.
Still here in 2020 bumping this. 🖤😭🥰
Song makes me tear up everytime fuck me
Mac lethal this song has gotten me through alot in my life and I thank u for making it. I love this song man. and wish I could have the same thing in my life.
Amazing, listened to it on the PlayStation, had to leave a comment via the iPad. Beautiful and touching. This should have more views and likes.
I remember seeing this in 2014
I accidentally found this video and I think that mac should make more songs like this
He's got a really soothing voice and really fits into the song. .....
Even Eminem can't rap like that
Seriously
Love this song so much! 💚💚💚
Seeing it live, was icing on the cake! Mac is amazing. Loved it!
2019 anyone?
Dude, I just heard the bars to this song in a Grammarly ad. I'm guessing they didn't try to get your permission to use them.
I don't know which ad it was because the ad was a 0:15 ad, but get a lawyer, and get your money, friend.
I’d love to think that these details (specifically the 30 days till she showed up, 30 days till he died) were true. Amazing song, can’t listen to it more than a couple times though cause it makes me cry every time!
Holy shit, I can't believe I found this again. And it still hits as hard as it has back in the day. I just remembered it out of nowhere, part of me didn't want to find it because I knew how sad it gets. But I still remembered enough lyrics to look it up, and here I am.
This song always hits in the feels
havent heard this song in a while, still know all the lyrics :') used to be one of my favs
I bawl my eyes out every time I hear this.
Man I'm a Irish kansas boy and that's how my great grandparents got here I love this. You really inspire me Mac. They called my grandfather mac
saddes son eve
My great grandad just died yesterday and this song is my coping method. I love you Mac ❤️❤️
Fuck you Mac.. every time this shit brings me tears... ❤️
Mac, I know you'll never see this but I just wanted to say how amazing this song is. I've heard this at least 100 times and each time I tear up. This is how I feel about my wife, I don't want to live without her and I hope I die before she does. I wish the entire world could see this video and listen to the lyrics to understand how important someone can be in your life. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see you live in a few months!!!!!!
Thanks Colby, much appreciated man.
Awsome song love how he shows the familys love brought my mom to tears
2019 finally found this song again its crazy how much more it means to me now..
They kept the romance polished
Jake+Olive, knifed in the back yard
Oak tree, lemonade, salad
Butterscotch, roast beef. - "pure poetry" - Myself-2019
I’m not crying. You are.
Incredible track MAC. MAD RESPECT😎✌️
2019 anyone ?
Just wow so long ago I heard this song amazing that it hits so deep still gives me meaning thank you
Oh my goodness... Pure love.
Not many in the world get to experience this...
Hands down my favorite song. I could only dream my married life was half of this. Well done.
This has got to be the greatest love song
Listening to it in 2019. It still gets me everytime
yoooo if she didnt go to america to chase dat boi we wouldn't have any of macs great songs!
I just fucking L O V E this songgg
So it gets me every time
omg the proposal with petunias...bro she said no and showed up 30 days later...he left her petunias and showed up 30 days later to her :') mac wtf is wrong with this world this song is defintely worth 500 million views solid, even more. One of the greatest.
This could have been about my parents. They were together for 75 years.
We should treat all immigrants with this sort of empathy. It’s not easy for any of them to do what they do.
Would die to remix this with mac - Zen
Mac this is so pretty, so thouching! it's hard to keep dry eyes
We were Jake and olive thru and thru! RIP Hermes!!!! https://youtu.be/-KwkpwEVLO0
I emmiagrated to the US. In high school..we met.lived there for 10 years. later we ended up together after I returned to Canada. I moved back down..I ended up having to return to Canada due to my health..He ended up sick..I should have never moved back to Canada. I came down to Florida where we lived because he was in hospital due to heart attack and multiple strokes...I seen him and spent a week and a half in the hospital next to him and after I left we made plans because he was to be discharged a week later.. He was going move to Niagara falls NY and we were going to move back in together then he passed after I left Florida to come back up to Canada.This was our song since the beginning which was so ironic. Thank you for this song. He use to sing it to me. He actually seen you in MN .I think it was Bedmiji.. During a Halloween show he came on stage as a big penis made outta pantyhose lol. @maclethal #maclethal
Oh man how many times have I heard this song and it still gets me every time. Beautiful story and track. Heh I remember when I thought I found my Olive. I went to play baseball in college for a few months and drove 800 miles back for her birthday just to get rejected. But like you say Mac the best divorce happens before the marriage takes place.
I used this song in college project the teacher gave me a 98% for the video / comments should be your coffin smoke freee
This song almost makes me cry but. I'm a Jake obrian from 1989 .....
This is so underrated... Sadly
Omg the floodgates of my eyes have been opened! So beautiful and what I truly want in life!
This makes me miss my grandparents to a kinda sad level. Its strange being this happy and sad at the same time.
shit made me cry
Honestly I dedicated this song to my wife we have been together since 2009. Married for 4 years and have 2 kids. Best song in history!
My great grandfather
Died exactly 30 days
After my great grandmother.
The video is more emotional that just the song. The song itself is sad but this made me start sobbing.
ouch gotta catch a girl up in her feels, my ex used to sing me this song back when things were in their prime :/
Dude you just totally made me cry, happy tears. This is so beautiful.
Beautiful
I am a smoker and my wife is 30 year older..everytime i smoke one i know im a little closer to dying before her. Listen to this song and know i cant live without her..ive picked my poison. Just hope i go before she does because i cant live without her
Mac has Irish grandparents????? I'm Irish????
If only it was still like this............... Beautiful story........ Kinda makes me jealous
love the proposal part😍😍
This song makes me cry everytime!!!! Even years later.... This is my favorite song from you!

He looks so badass with the suit, cigar and whiskey
I could watch this all day :D
love it.
2018 and this still makes me cry from my gut.
Thanks Lethal 💚
Damn it made me cry 😳😍
you have so many things that just make me think of Eminem, maybe it's your flow? your voice? I have no idea but your words are truly something else brother, you don't have 1 track that doesn't mean something or have a purpose, none of this "mom's spaghetti" bullshit, keep going strong man! I love to see how even though you've written the track before you've recorded it, while you're rapping it, you're learning, progressing and fulfilling achievements within yourself and it's magical as fuck, a REAL inspiration to what REAL hip hop should be! Much love brother <3
I love you
Every time I watch this I tell myself I won't cry at the end. I need to stop lying to myself. This song is beautiful my friend.
Wow. This is beautiful. I hope to find this.
That's gorgeous Mac. I wish I had listened to this 4 months ago so I could have played it at my wedding.
Damn man you know you got a good song when it gives people the chill down there backs anyway great song that words cant describe im on my 13th hour of listening to this song.
Seriously though, one of my favorite songs ever.. love love love it..

Mac Lethal writes a better Nicholas Sparks book than Nicholas Sparks does.

"Promise me you'll let me die first.." line means way too damn much to me..
Hey Mac, I have been a long time follower of you and this song is my favorite, not knowing until 2 weeks ago what depth it would have on me as I lost my Dad to lung cancer. Thank you for this beautiful song and tribute! The love you describe is my parents completely only my dad died at age 56. Love your music and again thank you!
I still love this song. I've been married to my husband for 9yrs (been together 12yrs) and love him as much as the beginning. Now we have two little ones as well. He truly feels like my other half.
Still one of my favorite songs of all time and I still know all the words even though I haven't heard it in forever
psst i'm good, i'm just putting my contacts in, they always fuck with my eyes
Lucky neighbor's😂😂😂
This song man.
