The Mercury Tree - Placeholder

Stop
With the implication you ever intended
To have me as more than a fixture
Just let it go

All forms of communication: A catering
Positive forms of interaction: A savoring
Yes is the answer if the question is
Asking if I can become the placeholder
After you cast me aside I doubt any longer
My reaction would be to abide

What to do now that your patience
Is running against the clock?
I can't conceive a situation
Where you aren't fed up with something
Something's gotta give, but it won't be me
I'll be here

I will be here
I will be here
I will be here
I will be here

With an outstretched hand
You know there's no implication
With me
Why oh why did you give me the green light
To take what I wanted
Consent in the technical sense

I know why
I know why
I know why I can't help you decide
Help me decide
Help me decide
Tell me why I can't help you decide
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why you can't help me decide
Help me decide
Help me decide
Tell me why I can't help you decide
