The Background

歌詞

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) Ghosts, they come and memories all repeat Lift your hair 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 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 When you come swimming into view And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do (come swimming into view) The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you (you come swimming into view) I only know because I'm way I'm way... in the background I'm in the background
