Sure is hard to remember

Life before you walked in the picture

I was a sad Mona Lisa with a crooked frame

Standing on my platform, waiting for my train



I was messed up, wondering, broke down, stumbling

Running for my life

Was heartbroke, hard up, a long string of bad luck

Searching with no end in sight



Before you called me baby

Before you looked me in the eyes

I had nothing left to save me

Before you called me, before you called me

Before you called me baby



It's the down and the lights turned on

And the band started playing a different song

I was baptized by the fire in your kiss

No I've never, ever felt like this



Before you called me baby

Before you looked me in the eyes

I had nothing left to save me

Before you called me, before you called me

Before you called me baby

Before you called me baby



I was drowning, wasted, lost and hanging by a thread

I was sinking, shook up, and almost gave up

On this lonely heart in my chest



Before you called me baby

Before you looked me in the eyes

I had nothing left to save me

Before you called me, before you called me

Before you called me baby, before you called me baby, oh yeah

Before you called me baby, baby, baby, baby



oooh
