Can’t believe
I’m leaving
Got my boxes by the door
Sorting through
my memories
Cross legged on the floor
My diaries and scrapbooks
Oh they seem
to take me there
I was always
Posh Spice
And you wore zigzags
in your hair

Would you know me
know me know me
If you saw me
saw me saw me
Nothing but hopes and
live in the moment
Where we were meant to be
Oh those days
don’t seem so far

When im flicking through
my old polaroid photographs
Me and you
you always made me laugh
Dancing to
cassette tape singles
That was big when
I was little
Big when I was little
….
Just like Malcolm
in the Middle
That was big when
I was little

Oh this box is haunting me
I can’t throw it away
School reports
and birthday cards
seems like yesterday
Clip on diamantes makes me
think of Friday nights
Leaving after class with me
on the back of your bike

Would you know me
know me know me
If you saw me
saw me saw me
Nothing but hopes and
live in the moment
Where we were meant to be
Oh those days
don’t seem so far

When I’m flicking through
my old polaroid photographs
Me and you
you always made me laugh
Dancing to
cassette tape singles
That was big when
I was little
Big when I was little
….
Just like Malcolm
in the Middle
That was big when
I was little
Big when I was little
….
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill
They were big when I was little

Super nintendo and
club nights at Bagleys
Smirnoff Ice,
open mic nights, and acne
Wonder where you ended up
Cause I just can’t
thank you enough
Avirex jacks and
strawberry Ribena
Nike TN’s Dreams of Wembley
arena ah
Oh those days
don’t seem so far

When I’m flicking through
my old polaroid photographs
Me and you
you always made me laugh
Dancing to
cassette tape singles
That was big when
I was little
Big when I was little
….
Just like Malcolm
in the Middle
That was big when
I was little
Big when I was little
….
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill
They were big when
I was little
