Lyrics

[00:02.50] THE BACKGROUND
[00:06.49] Third Eye Blind
[00:21.72]
[00:33.71] Everything is quiet
[00:39.95] Since you\'re not around
[00:45.80] And I live in the numbness now
[00:53.25] In the background
[00:56.00]
[01:00.76] I do the things we did before
[01:05.04] I walk Haight Street to the store
[01:11.51] And they say where\'s that crazy girl
[01:14.17] You don\'t get drunk on red wine
[01:16.30] And fight no more
[01:18.12] I don\'t see you anymore
[01:22.33] Since the hospital
[01:23.68]
[01:24.36] The plans I make still have you in them
[01:29.62] \'Cause you come swimming into view
[01:33.01] And I\'m hanging on your words
[01:37.43] Like I always used to do
[01:39.97] The words they use so lightly
[01:43.65] I only feel for you
[01:46.63] I only know because I carry you around
[01:52.03] In the background
[01:55.70]
[02:06.70] Words they come and memories all repeat
[02:09.77] I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
[02:16.69] And I would never lie to you
[02:20.72] No, I would never lie to you
[02:23.76] No, I felt you long after we were through
[02:28.22] We were through
[02:30.91]
[02:31.21] The plans I make still have you in them
[02:36.63] \'Cause you come swimming into view
[02:40.72] And I\'m hanging on your words
[02:43.60] Like I always used to do
[02:46.72] The words they use so lightly
[02:50.00] I only feel for you
[02:52.97] I only know because I carry you around
[02:57.27] In the background
[03:01.39]
[03:13.14] \'Cause I felt you long after we were through
[03:19.13]
[03:25.85] When you come swimming into view
[03:45.76] And I\'m hanging on your words
[03:47.50] Like I always used to do
[03:51.08] The words they use so lightly
[03:54.32] I only feel for you
[03:56.90] I only know because I\'m way, I\'m way
[04:01.66] In the background
[04:08.21] I\'m in the background
