3rd song from the end of their debut, Third Eye Blind ... this track, Motorcycle Drive By, and God Of Wine ... is w/o a doubt one of the best closing sequences of any record ever IMHO. Let alone any band's debut album.

This is some random persons vid collage thingie but it's pretty decent and the sound quality is awesome, so ... using this one.

Pretty much any real 3EB fan has this one in their top 5 songs of theirs, for sure ... and it's just a killer freaking song.

the background

everything is quiet
since you're not around
i live in 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
as you come swimming into view
and i'm hanging on your words
like i always used to do
the words we use so lightly
"i only feel for you"
i only know because i
carry you around
... in the background

ghosts 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
as you come swimming into view
and I'm hanging on your words
like I always used to do
the words we 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

as you come swimming into view
and i'm hanging on your words
like I always used to do
the words we 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
