Outro
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
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while, they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you,
No, I would never lie to you,
I felt you long after we were through
When 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
I'm in the background
I only know but I am, way,
I'm way in the background.
