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
