[Verse 1]

Every time I close my eyes

Hear a pounding knock around

See you in all my life

Only in the background

What has become of us

There's no turning back now

Open my eyes and look around

Fade into black now

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Every time I’m freaking out

Haven’t yet dared to try and sleep

Scared to hurt myself from turning about

Wake up with bruises on my knees

So I might just need some air to breathe

Stick to the safer parts of town

And find you’re always on repeat

If only playing in the background

Every time I close my eyes

Hear a pounding knock around

See you in all my life

Only in thе background
