The Background
Stephan Jenkins, Kevin Cadogan

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.
Girls they come and memories all repeat,
But lift your head while, They change the hospital sheets,
I would never lie to you, No
I would never lie to you, No
I felt you long after we were through, 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,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel to you,
I only know because I'm way, I'm way,
In the background.
I'm in the background.
