The Obvious One

Story Behind The Song

I sometimes question whether the girl I've fallen in love with is someone I stay with only because I am comfortable and I know it will work. I do know that there are characteristics that her and I do not have in common that I wish we did, which makes me

Lyrics

V1:
Somebody once told me
My brain was right
But my heart was wrong

Should I take the easy way out
Knowing that I?ll
Never know it all

Conditioned by a fake world
Not to think for myself just because

CH:
You always linger
I point a finger
I cannot help to think
You?re just the obvious one
Keep living for you
Even when I found me
It?s just the price to pay
Cause you?re the obvious one

Post CH:
Trouble is
There?s an end
And I haven?t seen
If you?re real
If you?re pretend
But I?ll figure out
If you were what?s next
If you were what?s best
If I?d lost my chance
To see the world without you
With me on my own I?ll figure out

V2:
I must take a trip to nowhere
Just somewhere far away from here

Where freedom has no limits
And my soul can start to steer

CH:
You always linger
I point a finger
I cannot help to think
You?re just the obvious one
Keep living for you
Even when I found me
It?s just the price to pay
Cause you?re the obvious one

Bridge:
I cannot lie
But am I lying to myself

I cannot help but think
I?m being someone else

And if I knew which way to turn
I?d not be lost

It?s tough to tell myself
That I?m my boss

Make no mistake
I don?t regret the choices made

Just wish I?d noticed where I went
Before I came

It?s so much simpler just to go the average way

Is it me or just the way
I?m supposed to be

CH:
You always linger
I point a finger
I cannot help to think
You?re just the obvious one
Keep living for you
Even when I found me
It?s just the price to pay
Cause you?re the obvious one
