About The Background
“Let me put it this way: Have you ever felt like your life was in high gear, and you were right in the moment, and you were happy, and rolling into some glorious unknown future? And then have that all taken away? And then lived in sort of the post-period of that high? That’s what it’s like to live in the background.” – Stephan Jenkins .
The Background Lyrics
[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]
[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

[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
