Obvious?
Hollyn Lyrics

I just want to talk to ya
The singer wants to help the listener by having a conversation.

But I know you're in a, in a pretty rough place

And I just wanna walk with ya

But I always wanna, wanna give you your space
The singer understands if the listener needs some alone time.

I know where you're standing

I can't help you, if you don't let your walls fall down
The listener needs to open up in order to receive help.

Let your walls fall down (down, down, down, down)
The listener needs to let go of their defenses and be open.

Isn't it obvious?
The singer thinks that it's clear what the listener needs to do.

Take off your shades, look me in the face
The listener needs to be honest and vulnerable.

Don't you know what you're missing?
The singer thinks that the listener is missing out on something important.

I can feel it, when you talk to me
The singer can sense the listener's pain.

Behind the walls you built
The listener has defenses up that prevent them from being open.

This ain't a game
The singer takes the listener's struggles seriously.

But this ain't the end of the world
The singer believes that there is hope for the listener's situation.

You're running around in circles
The listener is stuck in a pattern of behavior that isn't helping them.

Yeah, you're running around in circles
Reinforcing the previous line.

Isn't it obvious?
The singer thinks that it's clear what the listener needs to do.

Let's make it plain, there ain't no shame here
The singer wants the listener to feel comfortable being vulnerable.

Just give me a minute, I wanna listen
The singer is willing to listen and understand.

Ob-obvious
Reinforcing that it is clear what the listener needs to do.

I know that it's hard
The singer acknowledges that the listener's situation is difficult.

What you're doing to yourself
The listener is contributing to their own struggles.

You're locked in these bars
The listener is trapped by their own defenses.

But these prison walls are falling
There is hope for the listener's situation.

I'm standing arms wide open
The singer is ready and willing to support the listener.

Come running (running, running)
The listener is invited to take action towards positive change.

You can be free, if you want to
There is hope for the listener's situation if they are willing to make changes.

Don't you know what you're missing?
The singer thinks that the listener is missing out on something important.

Can you see it in the distance?
There is something positive to aim for if the listener is willing to take action.

If you'd turn around, you would see
