We Are the City - Obviously Lyrics

No matter how hard I try now
No matter how much I know
No matter how hard I try, man
It always goes this way
No matter how hard I try now
No matter how much I know
No matter how hard I try now
It's happening

This might be my first lucid dream
Or this might be an ad campaign
Relax and settle into it
Relax

When I was young
I thought time would never change me
But it did
Obviously
Obviously

Now, an angel at the foot of my bed
I observe and feel that old pull
I'm not empty, I'm just waiting to be full

And this might be my first lucid dream
Or this might be an ad campaign
Relax and settle into it
I tell myself, "Relax and I'll settle into it"

When I was young, I thought time would never change me
(When I was young, I thought time would never change me)
(When I was young, I thought time)
Mm, but it did
Obviously
Obviously

When I was young, I thought time would never change me
But it did
Obviously
(When I was young, I thought time would never change me)
Obviously
(When I was young, I thought time would never change me)
Ooh, ooh, when I was young
I thought time would never change me
But it did
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Obviously

Ooh
What a day for you to explain
Why a deal can't be made
Everybody's waiting
But this is slower than the second coming
And when the money dries up
Who's gonna pay for me to go to art school?
All the people who got it never give it up
No, they never give me any
