In a box of old flash photographs, of nights I can't remember
Full of faces, fresh and yet to wear the world
Well, I'm looking through, there's one of you I thought I'd lost forever
Cracked and faded, all your corners curled
Well I felt barely suitable, as you were truly beautiful
You walked towards me, everybody turned
I thought that you were wild and free, when you said you saw a light in me
I saw no reaosn then to be concerned
But then you asked me if I had a religion
Because, you said you were in love with your god
And did I think that he would come between us?
I couldn't tell if you were joking or not
You wrote your number on a passport photo
Saying "call me and I'll save you tonight"
But you know I never dialed your number
No, I never made that call
Doubt you waited by the phone
And you never saved my soul
It shouldn't be so complicated
3 minutes while we both speed date
Never threw your picture out
And I wonder who you're saving now
I wonder who you're saving now
How many pictures did you take?
Should I have been the one to call you back?
Did I make a mistake
Well all I knew by minute 2, was I was warming up to you
I'm thinking maybe you'll give us a whirl
Then you looked at me quite seriously, 10 seconds into minute 3
Saying you'd "like Libby, for a girl"
