The Background

[00:37.77] Everything is quiet
[00:43.06] Since you're not around
[00:49.88] I live in numbness now
[00:53.14] In the background
[01:01.22] I do the things we did before
[01:07.32] I walk Haight Street to the store
[01:11.59] And they say, "Where's that crazy girl?
[01:14.27] You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more"
[01:19.34] I don't see you anymore since the hospital
[01:24.26] The plans I make still have you in them
[01:30.45] 'Cause you come swimming into view
[01:34.84] And I'm hanging on your words
[01:37.50] Like I always used to do
[01:40.76] The words they use so lightly
[01:43.91] I only feel for you
[01:47.17] I only know because I
[01:49.44] Carry you around
[01:53.28] In the background
[01:59.11] I'm in the background
[02:06.64] 'Cause they come and memories all repeat
[02:13.13] Lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
[02:18.71] And I would never lie to you, no
[02:22.06] I would never lie to you, no
[02:25.06] I felt you long after we were through
[02:29.46] But we were through
[02:30.81] The plans I make still have you in them
[02:36.87] 'Cause you come swimming into view
[02:41.12] And I'm hanging on your words
[02:43.89] Like I always used to do
[02:47.43] The words they use so lightly
[02:50.22] I only feel for you
[02:53.57] I only know because I carry you around
[02:59.59] In the background
[03:13.00] 'Cause I felt you long after we were through
[03:23.02]
[03:40.51] When you come swimming into view
[03:45.12] And I'm hanging on your words
[03:47.72] Like I always used to do (swimming into view)
[03:51.30] The words they use so lightly
[03:54.39] I only feel to you (swimming into view)
[03:57.56] I only know because
[03:59.46] I'm way, I'm way in the background
[04:08.04] I'm in the background
[04:11.31]
