I stood on the road with a 50 foot sign And You must, must've been blind cause you passed on by I must, I must've been lost cause I'm at a loss For words. They always fall short but today I've learned that I could sing for you Or write the perfect tune That you'll never hear But you cast me away like a song overplayed, You just cover your ears Oh, and I don't wanna be lost in the background This is out of my hands and I'm out of plans To make, to make you see you belong with me And yeah I've tried all I know to make you know How much you mean so much but I'm giving up cause I could sing for you Or write the perfect tune That you'll never hear But you cast me away like a song overplayed, You just cover your ears Oh, and I don't wanna be lost in the background But I'm always lost, (always lost) Lost in the background Well I could sing for you Or write the perfect tune That you'll never hear But you cast me away like a song overplayed, You just cover your ears Oh, and I don't wanna be lost in the background Oh, but I'm always lost, I'm lost in the background
