OBSTACLES - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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 a thousand 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 that

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

We'll havе steady incomes and be sеttled 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 there's 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 can't read your mind, so I'll 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 that

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 there's just too many obstacles
