lyrics

Obvious

The first time I saw you
was down at Mindle beach market
you were stage managing for some
cultural event happening there
and oh I thought you were so cool

I could have lived forever
In a grass hut you built down there
Living off love and coconut milk
Love and coconut milk
Love and coconut yeh yeh yeh
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you

Well, time waits for no one
And I found myself in a classroom with you
Learning about technology
Music and the industry
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you

I asked you to a BBQ
You didn’t bring your girl with you
O o that was a mistake
I was cleaning squid at my kitchen sink
I squirted you with purple ink
Oh I didn’t mean to
But wasn’t it obvious
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you

You were cooking coconut milk desert
You were standing there in my favourite blue shirt
Wasn’t it obvious
I was in love with you
