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
