The Background Letra - 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
