The Background - 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
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 for awhile
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
