Lyrics

Background

[Verse 1]

Last night, I made out with you on your couch in the attic

Felt all the stars in my eyes turn to static

Maybe I got too high or maybe it hit just right

But I held your hand as we watched the world shatter

Melt into blackness, then, back into matter

I found the brighter side right when I lost my mind

[Chorus]

Whatever you do, I wanna do it with you gently

I'll follow you wherever you go if you let me

Keep me closer at your fingertips

And if you need me now

Baby, I'll be in the background

[Post-Chorus]

Mm-mm

I'll be in the background

Mm-mm

[Verse 2]

And it's no secret you love my ego

No stealing the show

'Cause we're good with taking turns

You make it easy to feel so comfortable

I like doing both

It's just the way I love you

[Chorus]

Whatever you do, I wanna do it with you gently

I'll follow you wherever you go if you let me

Keep me closer at your fingertips

And if you need me now

Baby, I'll be in the background (Background)

[Post-Chorus]

Mm-mm

I'll be in the background (Background)

Mm-mm

I'll be in the background (Background)

Mm-mm

Baby, I'll be in the background (Background)

Mm-mm
