I've got your picture in my guitar case.
I hold onto a physical reminder of you because I am unable to let go of my feelings for you.
I guess that I'm just a hopeless case.
I realize that my emotions towards you are one-sided and may never be reciprocated.
But just in case you can call me on the telephone.
Regardless of the unlikely chance that you may contact me, I am always available to speak with you.
You know that I will always be at home all alone.
Despite my desire for your company, I am resigned to the fact that I will always be by myself.
Ever since we first met don't you know I've been waiting, for you to call me up.
Since our initial meeting, I have been longing for your attention and affection.
Thinking, that you might stand me up.
I worry that you may not follow through with plans to see me.
Hoping, that you would look me up.
I am optimistic that you will reach out to me.
I know you have things to do.
I understand that you have a life outside of our encounters.
And so do I, a girl like you is a breath of fresh air in a smoke filled room like when we met two weeks ago.
Although I have my own obligations, being around someone as special as you is a refreshing change from my normal routine.
Lucky for me that you had a picture with you or I might never have seen you again.
I am fortunate that you had a photograph of yourself with you, as it gave me another chance to see you and be with you.
You're a diamond in the rough, lilies from the mud, needle in a haystack, one in a million.
You are a rare and beautiful individual amongst the chaos of life.
And that is good enough.
To simply have an opportunity to be in your presence is fulfilling for me.

Guitar riff at 1:00 and 2:33 reminds me of "Patterns" by Devo. I know Tony was a fan (just listen to "Hectic World"). I wonder if it was a coincidence. Anyway, this album holds up really well.
