Sometimes I wonder
How it would be
If we held on, if we held on
It worked while it was easy
Until the work got too hard
Now it's long gone, yeah it's long gone

You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

You were a nice placekeeper
I couldn't see it at the time
You gave my love a place to rest, to hide
You were a nice placekeeper

Now and then a songs play
Takes me to a time
Turns me sideways, turns me sideways
I wish it were just a song
Not so tangled up
In my memory with your memory

You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

You were a nice placekeeper
I couldn't see it at the time
You gave my love a place to rest, to hide
You were a nice placekeeper

You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

We stand on opposite sides
Of the road
Don't bother to say hello
Don't bother to say goodbye

You were a nice placekeeper
I couldn't see it at the time
You gave my love a place to rest, to hide
You were a nice placekeeper
You were a nice placekeeper
