Obvious

A lifetime would end Around the time I said Goodbye to my friends And we'd never talk again I didn't know that back then Oh my god But wasn't it obvious? When I packed all my bags I was never going back And it would be four years Until I saw my dad I didn't know that back then Oh my god But isn't it obvious? That time runs faster than you can You'll look back on what you had I'm just trying not to feel stuck And I miss things I couldn't keep I just want to fall asleep In the bedroom where I grew up I clung on to my pride And I built another life But then she would die Before I said goodbye And I didn't know that back then Oh my god But wasn't it obvious? And now sometimes when I close my eyes I go ten years back in time We're still sitting there in your car And I never found a better friend These days, everybody says I look just like you when I laugh So what if I came home Just to visit maybe? That would've made a difference I wanted to leave, I had to follow my dreams Now I watch you get older on a telephone screen I can't seem to get that out of my mind I get this awful feeling late at night That she held on for one more day In case I came home again Now I sit here in disbelief Changed by all the misery Wishing somebody had told me That time runs faster than you can You'll look back on what you had Then one day you'll wake up and be 23
