I'm your late night call
Only time we talk
Is come over I can't sleep
Every time you feel lonely
But never more involved
It's not your fault that I make it too easy
Feels so good when you say that you need me
You're playing with my heart
You let me play the part
Of your placeholder
You call me up when you need a shoulder
Somewhere to lay your head, feel up the emptiness
Yea I'm always second best
I'm just the one who holds you over
At arm's length but never any closer
When you look at me you see the space between
Where you were and where you wanna be
I don't wanna be your placeholder
No hard feelings but
It's hard being the only one
Who's making plans for the future
While you're making excuses
I'm done holding you
When I'm just your placeholder
You call me up when you need a shoulder
Somewhere to lay your head, feel up the emptiness
Yea I'm always second best
I'm just the one who holds you over
At arm's length but never any closer
When you look at me you see the space between
Where you were and where you wanna be
I don't wanna be your placeholder
It's not your fault that I make it too easy
Feels so good when you say that you need me
I'm just your placeholder
You call me up when you need a shoulder
Somewhere to lay your head, feel up the emptiness
Yea I'm always second best
I'm just the one who holds you over
At arm's length but never any closer
When you look at me you see the space between
Where you were and where you wanna be
I don't wanna be your placeholder
