Third Eye Blind - The Background

The Background
Third Eye Blind

Everything is quiet
Since you're not around
In the background
And I live in the numbness now

I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
You don't get drunk on red wine
And they say where's that crazy girl
And fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital

The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
The words they use so lightly
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around

In the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
We were through
And I would never lie to you
No, I would never lie to you
No, I felt you long after we were through

The plans I make still have you in them
And I'm hanging on your words
'Cause you come swimming into view
The words they use so lightly
I only feel for you
Like I always used to do
I only know because I carry you around
In the background

'Cause I felt you long after we were through
When you come swimming into view

And I'm hanging on your words
The words they use so lightly
Like I always used to do
I only know because I'm way, I'm way
In the background
I'm in the backgroundI only feel for you
