lyrics

INTO THE BACKGROUND NOISE

I'm sorry that I'm right
And I'm sorry that I left
That I failed to carry on
My bloodline
Or disappointed anyone
By following a dream
Maybe far too long

But I'm a happy man
And that's all that counts
These days the rest
Just fades away
Into the background noise
Of a world gone mad
And it's not my place
It's not my plan

Just pass me by
I'm doing quite alright
On my own
I never was too good
When it comes to life

Complicated truths
Are a hang-up from my youth
In a long forgotten state of mind
I could've been a traveller
On predetermined paths
But the maps were all drawn wrong

Used to think
I'd make it to you somehow
Those thoughts would only fade away
Into the background noise
Of a world gone mad
And it's not my place
It's not so bad

Just pass me by
I'm doing quite alright
On my own
I never was too clever
When it comes to you

Tumble through the darkest of days
In a beautiful haze
A loner in the shadows
Making permanent waves
I'm starting to think
It's not so bad

Just pass me by
I'm doing quite alright
On my own
I never was too lucky
When it comes to love

I've got nothing to prove, no
And I've got nothing to lose
