Foreign Obstacles Lyrics
[Intro]
Um, I'll just sing a bunch of different things I’ve written
[Verse 1]
I've been reading articles about foreign obstacles
And not falling too hard
When I get into your car I just wanna fall apart
I love crying with you
Two more shots of alcohol
We'll pretend we’re above it all
Baby we don't give a fuck
So I've been reading articles about foreign obstacles
And not falling too hard
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anybody when your gone
I don't know how to feel about loving someone
Cause when you go
I know you'll go
I'll be alone
[Verse 2]
If someone said a year ago they thought I'd be with you
I would have laughed hard
I’m sitting in a crowded room
Wishing I was next to you
It’s weird that you're not around
I love the way you laugh a lot
At things I do but try to not
Giveaway how I feel
If someone said a year ago they thought I’d be with you
I would have laughed hard
Um, I'll just sing a bunch of different things I’ve written
[Verse 1]
I've been reading articles about foreign obstacles
And not falling too hard
When I get into your car I just wanna fall apart
I love crying with you
Two more shots of alcohol
We'll pretend we’re above it all
Baby we don't give a fuck
So I've been reading articles about foreign obstacles
And not falling too hard
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anybody when your gone
I don't know how to feel about loving someone
Cause when you go
I know you'll go
I'll be alone
[Verse 2]
If someone said a year ago they thought I'd be with you
I would have laughed hard
I’m sitting in a crowded room
Wishing I was next to you
It’s weird that you're not around
I love the way you laugh a lot
At things I do but try to not
Giveaway how I feel
If someone said a year ago they thought I’d be with you
I would have laughed hard
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be anybody when your gone
I don't know how to feel about loving someone
Cause when you go,I know you'll go
I’ll be alone
Cause when you go,I know you'll go
I'll be alone
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
I don't wanna be anybody when your gone
I don't know how to feel about loving someone
Cause when you go,I know you'll go
I’ll be alone
Cause when you go,I know you'll go
I'll be alone
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town
I don't wanna be at this party if you're not around
And I don't wanna think about the fact that you're not in town

What did Mvlholland say about "Foreign Obstacles"?
Genius Answer
I wrote ‘Foreign Obstacles’ as I was falling in love. It was right in the gut-wrenching point, where it’s both terrifying and exhilarating all at once. I kind of knew if what I had kept on moving that I was done for. All I thought about were the things we shared, the moments that didn’t feel important but led us to exactly where we were. I honestly couldn’t tell if I hated or admired being in love because it was the most vulnerable I had ever felt.
