Placeholder

High on expectation
Though I should be patient
You and your relationship
In bloom

But roses have a shelf life
Watered up then they dry
And all you're left
Is potpourri in your room

So what's it gonna take
To wake up from your mistake
Long enough
He's been standing in our way

He's just a placeholder
A metaphor the
Writing on the wall
And echoes in the hall

No way I'm gonna be
His understudy
Don't make me say
Don't make me say I told ya

He's just a placeholder

Why don't you talk about him
When we're out as just friends
Do you wish that he doesn't exist
When you're with me

It all seems quite peculiar
Most girls
Wanna brag about their man
Oh any chance they can

He's just a placeholder
A metaphor the
Writing on the wall
And echoes in the hall

No way I'm gonna be
His understudy
Don't make me say
Don't make me say I told ya

He's just a bookmark
A door stop
A stock photo in a frame

A first pass
A rough draft
A paper license plate

So how could you pass up on me
Isn't Daniel a stupid name

I'll say it to
I could say it to his face

He's just a placeholder
He's just a placeholder
He's just a placeholder
He's just a placeholder

Yeah yeah yeah

He's just a placeholder
A metaphor the
Writing on the wall
And echoes in the hall

Someday he's gonna be
A distant memory
Don't make me say
Don't make me say I told ya

He's just a placeholder
Placeholder
