In the Background

lyrics

i’m like you and you and you
we’ve all got something we want to prove
no longer will i be a martyr
i’m growing up, now i’m smarter

i sometimes dream in the color green
you would understand if you knew what i mean
to say
or if i knew anyway
it’s funny how it all fades away

but i can be so much more than just your lefthand glove
and i can be so much more than just your background love
it’s not enough

my feelings float just like a cloud
move just as fast, strike just as loud

so buy some land and build a house
close the doors and lock your mouth

she says “i love you” and he does too
but they close the doors, all but a few

she moved on, he’s read the news
there is nothing left to do
it’s funny how it all fades away

but i can be so much more than just your lefthand glove
and i can be so much more than just your background love
it’s not enough
