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
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
