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 light 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 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.
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.
