Background Noise

I'm on my guard

To keep it sweet and low

While you're working hard

To figure out the guest list

And send the cards

And plan a dead man's wedding today

So soak it up

Your life is but my dream

That I've woken from

And fate's a big believer

In jokes and fun

So my life is a sitcom now

Then why do I feel like background noise?

You want me around, but it's not your choice

If I'm just the sound that will fill some void

To be locked away with the junk and toys

I'm background noise

I fade to black

If I keep up my living

Between the cracks

I gave you all I had

Asked for nothing back

And that's exactly what I got

So pack the house

Grab the young believers

Share your whereabouts

And throw your polished stories

To the sea of shouts

But if it's not their cheering that you hear

Then maybe it's just my background noise

You want me around, but it's not your choice

If I'm just the sound that will fill some void

To be locked away with the junk and toys

I'm background noise, yeah

Background noise, yeah

I'm background noise, yeah

I'm on my guard

To keep it sweet and low

While you're working hard

Background noise

You want me around, but it's not your choice

If I'm just the sound that will fill some void

To be locked away with the junk and toys

I'm background noise, yeah

I'm background noise, yeah

I'm background noise, yeah
