Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Barely awake as the arm rushes by
Six, seven, eight o'clock, eight-thirty, nine
There's a hole in the ceiling it's bleeding you dry
Something ain't working, no, something ain't right
So you sit up and aim for the door without sound
An exits an answer at least for right now
And your feet hit the carpet and start to excite
'Cause days like today they come once in a lifetime
Only once in a while
[Verse 2]
Now you're out through the door with the sun in your eyes
Jumped to the sidewalk, hopped over the lines
And the salt is like lava, the snow solid ground
God, wasn't it winter three months ago now
Huddled up on the Red line, you nap on the way
Out past the school where those children would play
And the shine of their wings would put salt in your eyes
Today, it's the train but tomorrow we'll fly
[Chorus]
In the background I'll be there
'Cause some things never leave ya
And in the off chance you see me
Come waste your breath on me, babe
In the background I'll be there
In the background I'll be there
'Cause some things never leave ya
And in the off chance you see me
In the off chance you see me
Come waste your breath on me, babe
In the background I'll be there
In the background I'll be there
'Cause some things never leave ya
And in the off chance you see me
In the off chance you see me
Come waste your breath on me, babe
[Verse 3]
Back on the bus, take it up to the lake
Hot on the tracks now, just miles away
And you slip on the ice, send your face to the ground
God, wasn't it winter three months ago now
In the sand there's a castle with magical things
Cattails and dust bunnies, apples and rings
And it grants you a wish so you ask for the stars
Says that's not what we do here but here's where you'll start
There's a boat by the shoreline, I've made it for you
There's no need for maps now, it knows what to do
There's a crack in the distance, a break in the clouds
A hole in the background, yes, a hole in the background
[Verse 4]
As soon as you sail to that wall in the sky
You notice the crack in the cloud to your right
So you tap on it once and tap on it twice
It opens up slowly and boldly you cry
Well I'm certain there's something, I'm certain there's more
I'm certain there's somebody right through that door
Yes I'm certain there's something, I'm certain there's more
I'm certain there's somebody right through that door
And I'm sure
Of it
Yes, I'm sure
Of it
Yes, I'm sure
Of it
[Outro]
In the background I'll be there
In the background I'll be there
