I come out of hiding by and by
(Been all alone)
'Cause I've been immobilized for so long
(On my own)
Slowly emerging from the dark
(It's just day by night)
I feel like I wasted so much time
I've been
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Finally decided on a change
(So take a chance)
No more cowards holding hands
(Tomorrow brings the unknown)
Well, I'm gonna break up all the rules
(Take 'em all by storm)
Tear down the barriers, on the loose
'Cause I've been
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Oh, livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
We're part of all the story
Well, can't you see
That love has control?
Got no reason now to worry
Just count on me
'Cause love has gotta take control
You can take hold
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background (whoa, whoa)
Livin' in the background (so true)
Livin' in the background
Livin' in the background
Livin' in the background
Finally decided on a change
(So take a chance)
No more cowards holding hands
(Tomorrow brings the unknown)
Well, I'm gonna break up all the rules, rules
Livin' in the background
Livin' in the background
