Wideawake – Obvious lyrics

another sun shines upon my face, another day puts me in my place
i made another mistake that i can't erase and i feel so far
i get reminded by the things i see, then i'm blinded by the doubt in me
i need more than a prayer and just a memory to bring me back out of the black

(chorus)
how many waves crash upon my shore
how many lights flash outside of my door
all of the obvious that i don't see
you were waiting right here in front of me

another night driving in my car
talking to myself about the way things are
i'm just around the corner but i feel so far, have i lost my mind?
it's like i'm blinded by the things i see, holding my eyes shut keeps the truth from me
now that i know how desperate a man can be would you bring me back
out of the black
it's obvious to see
not obvious to me
that you were waiting right here in front of me
