Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walked out of the house, it began to rain
I got on a train, started thinking about being single again
I got off at the next station, went to Westfield
Trying to buy myself some time, but now I'm back here and I'm trying to explain
[Verse 2]
What brought me back?
Just a hunch
Just an inkling
Just a feeling
[Verse 3]
A suspicion
A compromise
Force of habit
But I got this feeling
[PreChorus]
Over years
[Chorus]
Love turns into background noise
Like this ringing in my ears
Like the buzzing of a fridge
You only notice when it disappears
[Verse 4]
I got no evidence
Don't remember the first time
Or the last time
Or the way we got from here to there
Should I keep you at arm's length?
Too far away, I'll die of cold
Too close, I lose my teeth and hair
[Verse 5]
It's only real if you don't know where you're going
If you don't know what you're feeling
The afternoon sunlight in your hair
Feet on the moss
Jesus Christ now, what a feeling
[PreChorus]
How could I know?
[Chorus]
Love turns into background noise
Like this ringing in my ears
Like the buzzing of a fridge
You only notice when it disappears
Love turns into background noise
Like this ringing in my ears
Like the buzzing of a fridge
You only notice when it disappears
[Refrain]
No, no, no, noĀ background noise
No more ringing in my ears
No more buzzing like a fridge
You only notice when it disappears
