These days I'm just a placeholder until the real me gets here. Sunlight is going by so fast. How did it ever disappear? I'm running out of things to say convincing you I'm not a waste. I want to instantly hear back... let's save it for another day. Now I am filling up a space with words that I cannot erase, And this is where argument lives. I line up in a length queue important things I've left to do, And I can feel them all slip away. These days I'm just a placeholder until someone who's real gets here. I thought I would betray my past. Turns out I never could see clear.

You ask me if I had planned on this, but you know that I did. Maybe I'd let you set a path for me... when I've lost my means to. I'm trailing, falling so far behind, and there's no way that I'll catch up to the speed required to be happily on the will to see through. So take away the steering wheel. I told you that I could handle this, even though I never could. When given many opportunities, they'll up and leave... just like you. You push me, giving me candidness that I don't want, because you made it. Why can't you let me have my apathy? It's all that I can seem to... Driving me toward the spot I always said I want to stop. To stretch my legs, relax all day, Yet still I want to leave this place. Unqualified to drive a friend, you shouldn't make this choice again. Endangering the way you feel, so take away the steering wheel.

I wanna show up on your radar And then hold back from moving in The outer rings will let me stay far To remove the human element You're just perusing for survivors Hoping that I'm tired of Searching for a bait without a hook The passion I admire Speaks with such hellfire Dodging every misstep that we took To take white flag from out my raincoat Re-route the course I've plotted in You've got me circling the same boat And there is no way I'm climbing in The lure is gone, yet still I'm throwing caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind Tossed into the bin It seems I can't help caving in Caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind Tossed into the bin It seems I can't help caving in I'll let you pull down on the sails If you let me leave this whirlpool The current out here isn't stable And I fear i may be changing you Although you've got hold on the wheel Turning even keel Hands are firmly placed on ten and two The trip has lost appeal And really starts to feel Like compass hasn't help to point you through I think I'll turn around and stay home Cause there's clearly nothing keeping you After the struggling we came for I'm glad I'm not anchoring to you Caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind Tossed into the bin It seems I can't help caving in Caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind Tossed into the bin It seems I can't help caving in Caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind (oh) Caution to the wind I'm throwing caution to the wind (oh) You're reeling back to pull me in I'm throwing caution to the wind
