Background Lyrics by Third Eye Blind

Background

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,'Cause I don't see you anymore,Since the hospital,But the plans I makeStill have you in them,Then you come swimming into view,And I'm hanging on your wordsLike I always used to do,The words they use so lightly,I only feel for you,I only know this cause I am,Way back down,In the background,Words they comeAnd memories all repeat,I lift your head while,They change the hospital sheets,I would never lie to you,No I would never lie to you,I felt you long after we were through,And the plans I make still have you in them,Cause you come swimming into view,And I'm hanging on your wordsLike I always used to do,The words they use so lightly,I only feel for you,I only know this cause I am,Way back down,In the background
