Elliott Smith - Placeholder lyrics

Looking at all the rows All these records look like big zeros Got your picture on the back of a forty-five A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine I'm the person you'll never need The biggest loser on sixteenth street The invisible man with the see-through mind A placeholder till you take up mine A placeholder till you take up mine Break off of in someone's laughter You can tell right there He's still a square He likes the way that you look now Like an open book Just like my favourite song Some pretty words that didn't last that long Like a package sent priority overnight Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine Placeholder come and take up mine
