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'll 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 'til 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 'til all that we are is background music

Oh

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 'til all that we are
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music, ooh
