“Obvious People” is one of several tracks from Twin Shadow’s most personal record Caer that “excavates the pieces of his broken relationship.” George Lewis Jr. said this track is “the most painful” track on the album.
The song is filled with heartache and bad blood, with some lyrics suggesting an i...
[Verse 1]
You wanted a friend, I wanted you back
I knew it would end, our contract was bad
I knew you would go for those obvious obvious people
You knew it was wrong to hold me close
You wrestle my fears without letting me go
But I knew you would fall for those obvious obvious people
[Chorus]
Click
I bet you're out in his car right now
Lips and hands no longer searching for me
Lost as I need, love is a dream
[Post-Chorus]
And I could follow you right down
Through desert sands to the lighthouse
Well the morning crosses your eyes now
Look at me, you pull me close, saturate, come undone, overdose
But he's in love with your soft talk
Worked your name in the sidewalk
You will hear him in the parking lot
Friday night, getting close, let it go, live your life
[Verse 2]
You wanted to leave, I couldn't agree
To follow you back was to give up on me
I spent my whole life
Running from obvious obvious people
You spend more than a year
Trying to forget my past
I laughed at your tears, you're much better than that
But I'm blaming us both
We're just obvious obvious people
[Chorus]
I bet you're out in his car right now
Lips and hands no longer searching for me
Lost as I need, love is a dream
[Bridge]
I bet you think I'm in love again
With another one of those blonde girls, I call friends
But you're the one that can't live alone
You couldn't wait until I came home
[Outro]
And I could follow you right down
Through desert sands to the lighthouse
Well the morning crosses your eyes now
Look at me, you pull me close, saturate, come undone, overdose
But he's in love with your soft talk
Worked your name in the sidewalk
You will hear him in the parking lot
Friday night, getting close, let it go, live your life
