Background Noise Lyrics by The Altogether

Fences

2022

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
Sharе your whereabouts
And throw your polished storiеs
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
