Background Noise

Life was always smooth sailing up until I met you
Now you've got me flailing, veering off of course
Thought I had my balance, but then I heard your voice
Now the rest of the world is simply background noise

Ooh yeah, background noise
It's just background noise
Yes, it's background noise

I was on the straight and narrow, never left the path
Followed it religiously and always read the maps
My compass was consistent and pointing towards true north
Till your magnetism sent me off my course
Cause I've been out of balance ever since I heard your voice

Now the rest of the world is simply background noise
Ooh yeah, background noise
It's just background noise
Yes, it's background noise

Now when I go driving, I'm veering left and right
Cause the world is fading and you're all that's left in sight
I denied it for a while, would pretend you weren't the source
But you're the only one that's ever sent me off my course
Cause I've been out of balance ever since I heard your voice

Now the rest of the world is simply background noise
Oh yeah, background noise
It's just background noise
Yes, it's background noise

Cause now you're in the forefront of my mind, I think about you all the time
I'm not sure what it takes to make you mine so please why don't you tell me
Cause you're the only sound I hear and I just want to bring you near

One thing has become quite clear
That I don't care if the world is background noise
Cause I just love your voice
Oh yeah, background noise
The rest is background noise
