Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don’t mind, you smile
And say the world doesn’t fit with you
I don’t believe you, you’re so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you’re guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there’s things I’d like to do
That you don’t believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happen
And there’s this burning
Like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone
And I’ve, I’ve never been so alive
And there’s this burning
There is this burning
Where’s the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything but I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is the last time
We’ll be friends again
I’ll get over you, you’ll wonder who I am
And there’s this burning
Just like there’s always been
I’ve never been so alone alone
And I’ve, and I’ve never been so alive
So alive
I’ve never been so alone, and I’ve never felt so alive.
this album, always on repeat once it hits midnight.
The plans I make still have you in them
’Cause you come swimmin’ 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 because I carry you around
In the background
This is constantly on repeat…
75. Third Eye Blind - The Background (1997)
Everything is quiet
since you’re not around.
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.”
I don’t see you anymore
since the hospital.
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 because I
carry you around
in the background.
I’m in the background.
Words they come and memories all repeat,
lift your head while they change the hospital sheets.
And I would never lie to you, no.
I would never lie to you, no.
I felt you long after we were through.
We were through.
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 because I carry you around,
in the background.
‘Cause I felt you long after we were through.
When 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 because I’m way I’m way
in the background.
I’m in the background.
this whole song just reminds me of everything I shouldn’t think about.

how’s it gonna be when you’re sure i’m not there.
I can probably spend a good three hours just listening to this album, and Blue.
I hate the fact that I love them so much, and they’re not around.
I spent the last three years setting myself on fire for you, I spent the last three years never knowing what you say is true.
It’ll be this way ‘till one of us dies.
If I don’t slep soon, I’m going to sing.
Why.do.I.sing.when.I’m.tired.
Plus, I swear i’m going to break my glasses.
