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

'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

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
