Third Eye Blind - Background lyrics

rate me

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 make Still have you in them, Then 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 this cause I am, Way back down, In the background, Words they come And 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 words Like 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
