Katy Perry
This song was released with “Hiding in your Hands” – a beautiful performance by Mallory Bechtel, and Katy Perry’s version of “Waving Through a Window”.
It has slower elements but remains upbeat somewhat like “If I Could Tell Her”, which makes sense considering it is the first draft of the song. It...

[Verse 1]
When we know something is true
Beyond question or doubt
There's no particular point
In pointing it out
Blue is the color of sky
'Cause mothers all worry
And old people die
A phone rings, a bee stings
It's something you don't need to hear
It's just clear
[Chorus]
Why go stating the obvious?
It's so painfully obvious
How could you miss
Something that's this plain to see?
When it's glaring, and staring
Right at you
So obviously
[Verse 2]
When you get bored you draw stars
On the cuffs of your jeans
You still fill out the quizzes you find
In those teen magazines
And you dance like nobody's there
Awkward and perfect
You don't even care
Something courageous, amazing, contagious
And kind
All combined
[Chorus]
Why go stating the obvious?
It's so painfully obvious
How could you miss
Something that's this plain to see?
When it's glaring, and staring
Right at you
So obviously
[Bridge]
Sometimes the words
We tend to withhold
But they're exactly the words
Someone needs to be told
But oh, thinking they know
We never say "I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you."
[Chorus]
'Cause why go
Stating the obvious
It's so painfully obvious
How could you miss
Something that's this plain to see?
When it's glaring, and staring right at you
So obviously
