lyrics

Mottled moody sky and anonymous trees
Big pink heart sunset glows on clouds like a rolling sea
Lost in the moment of being the valley
Singing in the present ‘cause the present’s just so 3-D

But that’s too obvious
Too obvious
Too obvious even for me
For me

Shots I didn’t take – the cows, the blackberries
How could light describe that bank, that railway line?
Things I didn’t do – that impossible house
It made me think about a you
A you and a me

I know I should be obvious
You need to be obvious
You know that’s obviously true
Now I’m singing down deep ‘cause someone beautiful told me to
She told me to

Youth appears like a plume on some folk
They wear it bright round the town until they’ve got a new yoke
Of course mine’s leaving without even asking
But that just makes me want to know more of what your face is masking

‘Cause you’re not obvious...

Mottled moody sky and anonymous trees
Big pink heart sunset glows on clouds like a rolling sea
Dead in the moment of being the valley
Dead because maybe no decision is ever really free

And nothing’s obvious
Well, what is obvious?
Who you think you are is just a memory of a memory
Who you think you are is just a memory of a memory
A memory

Wind resistance
Life’s insistence
Wind resistance
