River - Standby Love Lyrics

I'm just a placeholder
For a better love to come through
For you
I'm just a time killer
A love filler
For you
Do you know how it feels
Do you know how it feels
To be a standby love
A standby love

So call me back in December
Or better yet never
Not even second best
Just a place for you to
Lay your body at rest
While you dream of someone else

I've got to learn how to control my heart
Eyes are drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
Don't let them wander like yours
Anywhere, on anyone but me

Someday you'll find what you need
But my love has my heart in a vise
Even if it's not me
No, you don't see me
I know that you
Don't care at all

So call me back in December
Or better yet never
Not even second best
Just some place for you to
Lay your body at rest
While you dream of someone else
Just
Not
Me
