Elliott Smith — Placeholder

Looking at all the rows All these records look like big zeroes Got your picture on the back of a 45 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 16th 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 up in someone's loft In midtown 'round there next to the square He likes the way that you look now Like an open book Just like my favorite 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
