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 wheres that crazy girl
you dont get drunk on red wine
and fight no more
cause i dont 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'm 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
i felt you long after they 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 lighly
i only feel for you
i only know cause
i'm way back down
in the background
