The Background

Third Eye Blind 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 you use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know, because I carry you around
In the background

Words, they come and memories all repeat
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
When 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 you 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

When 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'm way, I'm way
In the background
I'm in the background
