Background Music

Maybe we got a ways to go, a lot of road ahead of us

And who really knows how many songs we got left in us

And so it goes, curtains will close

Whatever's next after the show

Just for now play it loud, let the sound deafen us

We got time but we're only human

We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it

You and I can dance our way through it

And I'll love you 'till all that we are is background music

Maybe all we'll ever be to them in a hundred years

Is three minutes in a car, in a bar, that says we were here

If that's you and me when it's all said and done

Hard not to see we're the lucky ones

Not everybody gets to leave a souvenir

We got time but we're only human

We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it

You and I can dance our way through it

And I'll love you 'till all that we are is background music

We got time but we're only human

We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it

You and I can dance our way through it

And I'll love you till all that we are

And I'll love you 'till all that we are is background music
