Placekeeper by Claire Guerreso Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Now and then a song plays
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You cut just deep enough
In my dreams you keep showing up

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

[Chorus]
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
