Even When/The Best Part Lyrics
I think of you when the wind blows
Every night, I've been countin' the days
I see your face almost everywhere
'Cause I just wanna be there when you wake
Sure, maybe Salt Lake is not close
Denver always seems so far away
But I'm still breathin' you in the air (But I hope you know that we're still close)
[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett & Both]
Because
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams that always makes me smile, it's you (Even when you and I are worlds apart, I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile (Even when I'm a thousand miles away, I wish that I could stay with you)
It's you
[Verse 2: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]
When I don't know what to do (I shouldn't fear)
Know I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby ('Cause I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on us, baby)
I wish you were here (There's no need to be blue)
[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett & Both]
Because
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams that always makes me smile, it's you (Even when you and I are worlds apart, I hold you in my heart)
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile (Even when I'm a thousand miles away, I wish that I could stay with you)
It's you
You, you, with you
You, you, it's you (With you)
I wish that I could stay with you (It's you)

“Even When/The Best Part” is a truly special duet. I played guitar when we filmed it, and sang along to Olivia’s vocals in my ear while she shot her side separately! I’m stoked to see how it all came together and really think people are gonna love it! Hands down: one of my favorites this season!
