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
