lyrics

Into The Background

Picking over the words you left so I won’t let you down
Hold them closely to my chest now you won’t be around
When you told the joke I heard the ending long before
All I found is fading into the background

Moving boxes across my floor, these memories made a sound
Did I need things from long ago? We covered so much ground
When you played the song I guessed the chords would trip you up
How we laughed has now faded into the past

I don’t have the right to know if all is fine, is this for show?
I don’t mean to make you wait, it’s already been too late

When you said you’d arrive I thought you’d maybe stand me up
Your silence drowned the noise into the background
