Third Eye Blind - The Background lyrics
[Third Eye Blind - The Background lyrics]
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
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
