The Background Lyrics - Third Eye Blind

Everything is quiet since you're not around 

And I live in the numbness now 

In the background 

I do the things we did before 

I walk Haight Street to the store 

And they say where's that crazy girl 

You don't get drunk on red wine 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 

And I'm hanging on your words 

Like I always used to do 

The words they use so lightly 

I only feel for you 

I only know because I carry you around 

In the background 

I'm in the background 

Words they come and memories all repeat 

I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets 

And I would never lie to you no 

I would never lie to you no 

I felt you long after we were through, we were through 

The plans I make still have you in them 

Cause you come swimming into view 

And I'm hanging on your words 

Like I always used to do 

The words they use so lightly 

I only feel for you 

I only know because I carry you around 

In the background 

Cause I felt you long after we were through 

Well you come swimming into view 

And I'm hanging on your words 

Like I always used to do 

The words they use so lightly 

I only feel to you 

I only know because 

I'm way I'm way in the background 

I'm in the background
