Story So Far, The - Placeholder Lyrics






This body's closed until further notice
Wandering too close will get you nowhere fast
I'm looking for an option that won't involve you at all
Some help to hoist my sail off of its mast

And its haunting me, but I feel fine
War of worlds in real time
Better off signing a truce that's drawn up in your name
But I hope you go home and admit you
Were wrong for the stress you put me through
Free me from the anchor
Depart these seas and let me do what I have to do

Am I so wrong to think that you are too?
Is it safe to be a pawn
When all the rooks close in on you
I used to be afraid of time before I grew
The sands will slip and the pain will grip
And the guilt will trip all over you

And its haunting me, but I feel fine
War of worlds in real time
Better off signing a truce that's drawn up in your name
But I hope you go home and admit you
Were wrong for the stress you put me through
Free me from the anchor
Depart these seas and let me do what I have to

[2x]
Running around in circles
The path I always choose
I hate that I can't accept anything more
Than the worn out soles of my shoes
Just say something back
And cut me some slack
Headstrong in the world
With the wind at my back.

Story So Far, The Placeholder Comments
  1. t.... ....

    Never thought I’d hear them play this live but I was proven wrong last night. Couldn’t help but to sing every last word...

  2. P.... T....

    2:06 my heart, owh 😪❤️

  3. M.... F....

    The songs of my youth

  4. A.... B....

    This song is actually incredibly hard to sing. Parker so solid right out of the gate!

  5. H.... P....

    When music can be there for you when people can’t

  6. A.... B....

    This is one of the most underrated Story So Far songs

  7. A.... O....

    *cries*

  8. E.... b....

    Still listening in 2019💞

  9. w.... ....

    FREE ME FROM THE ANCHOR, DEPART THESE SEAS AND LET ME DO WHAT I HAAAAVE TO DOOOOOOOOO

  10. J.... H....

    THIS BODY'S CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

  11. 1.... S....

    Funny i found this song when i started dating my ex last year its crazy its almost been a full 7 months since i seen here

  12. J.... I....

    2018 anyone

  13. M.... B....

    7 years later and still gets me in the feels.

  14. t.... a....

    Neck deep should cover this

    t.... a....

    Both are two great bands! Itd be dope if they both took a song and covered it of each other:) or if they both covered blink 182 songs haha

  15. D.... R....

    Is it just me who came here to fugure out the fortnite season 4 week 3 placeholder secret?

  16. M.... ....

    I use this video whenever I need a placeholder youtube link

  17. J.... M....

    Does any one listen to this?

  18. B.... G....

    Ang sakiiiittttt

  19. B.... G....

    The lyrics tho. Parker's lyricism is <3

  20. I.... R....

    it's 2018 now, but don't know this song means:(

  21. n.... v....

    Will always be my favorite TSTF song. 5 years ago this was my summer jam every time I got in the car. It was also the summer I started talking to/dating this girl who will now be my wife in 6 months, so this song always will hold a special place in my heart even though the lyrics aren't very reflective of a successful relationship haha. But whenever we fight, I alwayssss think "Am I so wrong to think that you are too?" hahahah

  22. S.... K....

    I was a placeholder for 8 YEARS. yeah FUCK THAT SHIT. Im never gonna settle again.

  23. B.... S....

    the beat sounds soo familiar, is it from blink 182?

  24. b.... P....

    lil dolby in my wife cant wait to make music with u aaron parvin is my real name i dont do drugs nkthing judt acted the part i was always for god (:

  25. J.... M....

    This song is like something straight out of All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. Also, Finch can sing and play guitar, so that makes this more emotional.
    Also, everyone read that book NOW!!! ITS SO GOOD!!!

  26. J.... M....

    All The Bright Places




    It's a book and I swear this song and the characters are the exact same.

  27. N.... K....

    my crushes cousin pretended to be my crush to fuck with my emotions. the crush knew 😂

    N.... K....

    Not Kendra im sorry.

  28. m.... R....

    They should really do a throwback tour.

  29. F.... D....

    what is the meaning of placeholder?

    F.... D....

    It basically means you're that person who's just always there for someone, the song means you're trying to fight and refrain from being a push-over and you're just trying to get some closure from whoever is holding you back

  30. t.... ....

    This sounds like a closing song from some kind of movie

  31. J.... B....

    this is their best song

  32. B.... M....

    Am I the only one that thinks Parker and Ben Barlow sound identical?

    B.... M....

    Yo! I think the same thing!

    B.... M....

    i'm convinced they are the same person

    B.... M....

    Yeah because Neck Deep is just a TSSF rip off lmao

    B.... M....

    you guys should check out WSTR their singer has the same voice as Ben

  33. S.... A....

    i love this fucking much

  34. D.... T....

    woooow its nice

  35. M.... B....

    how can anyone dislike this song. its kicked me right in the nuts with a tonne of feels man

  36. y.... a....

    love the way this ends

  37. B.... E....

    i evenually became sick of songs like quicksand tho its great but this song never gets old

    B.... E....

    running around in circles, you could say

    B.... E....

    I agree, their fast paced songs are great, but their slower jams blow everything else out of the water

  38. J.... R....

    favorite song off this album

  39. J.... M....

    Come and find me!

    J.... M....
