It was always just a matter of time
Though you can't outrun anyone in a town this size
I always knew I'd see her here one night
I just thought when we met it'd be me by your side
There was something in the way she said hello
I could tell right away she didn't know
Who I am or what we were
To be fair I don't either
Was I just a time killer?
A lonely night space filler?
Layin in the spot that she left on her side of the bed until she changed her mind
Was I just in between
Moving on and not quite ready
To stop lookin' back, wishin' that you could hold her?
Was I just a place holder?
Yeah maybe there's a sign I misread
When you told me you loved me maybe you meant
That you loved how I was there
Right on time and unaware
That it didn't matter if it was me
No you just needed comforting
Was I just a time killer?
A lonely night space filler?
Layin in the spot that she left on her side of the bed til she changed her mind
Was I just in between
Movin' on and not quite ready
To stop lookin' back, wishin that you could hold her?
Yeah was I just a place holder?
Yeah was I just a place holder?
Was it me that made you miss
What you had? Was I a temporary fix on your way to closure?
Yeah was it ever even really over?
Was I just a time killer?
A lonely night space filler?
Layin in the spot that she left on her side of the bed til she changed her mind
Was I just in between
Moving on and not quite ready
To stop looking back wishin' that you could hold her?
No you couldn't stop looking back wishin' that you could hold her
I was just a place holder
Yeah I was just a place holder
