OBSTACLES Lyrics

I could swim to you

But I'd go against the tide

Ocean currents powered by the factors in our lives

I'll stick to the shore until the patterns change

If I jump in the water I'll just sink beneath the waves

I could shoot my shot from 1000 miles away

And I could fly to you and take you on a date

But how long would it last, 'cause I'd have to go back

And whatever connection would stretch until it snaps

But deep in my dreams

You're right there with me

My grasp is soft

But I'm holding on

To the possibility

Maybe in the future we both wind up in the same place

We'll have steady incomes and be settled in our own ways

And we'll meet up and find out that the sparks they never died

And we'll fall in love

But right now theres just too many obstacles

When you think of me

How does it make you feel?

Am I the only one that wishes this were something real

I cant read your mind, so I make it up in mine

I pretend you feel similar and things just don't align

But deep in my dreams

You're right there with me

I want you now

But I'm holding out

For the possibility

Maybe in the future we both wind up in the same place

We'll have steady incomes and be settled in our own ways

And we'll meet up and find out that the sparks they never died

And we'll fall in love

But right now theres just too many obstacles
