“Let me put it this way: Have you ever felt like your life was in high gear, and you were right in the moment, and you were happy, and rolling into some glorious unknown future? And then have that all taken away? And then lived in sort of the post-period of that high? That’s what it’s like to live i...
The Background Lyrics
[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
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
I don't see you anymore since the hospital
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
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
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Words, they come and memories all repeat
I 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
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
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
[Guitar Solo: Kevin Cadogan]
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause I felt you long after we were through
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Well, 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 to you
I only know because
I'm way, I'm way in the background
I'm in the background

“Wounded and Background are related in that they both deal with somebody that’s been sexually assaulted. I wouldn’t know where to start about the inspiration. Regarding Background, sometimes when you know you’re with the people you belong with, you live in the foreground. When you lose those people,...
