Big When I Was Little
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 living the moment
And where we were meant to be
Oooooohhhh ohhhh ohhhh
Those days don't seem so far
When I'm flicking through my old polaroid photographs
Me and yooouuuu
You always made me laugh
Dancing to cassette tape singles
That was big when I was little
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 book is haunting me
I can't throw it away
School reports and birthday carts
Feels 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 living the moment
And where we were meant to be
Oooooohhhh ohhhh ohhhh
Those days don't seem so far
When I'm flicking through my old polaroid photographs
Me and yooouuuu
You always made me laugh
Dancing to cassette tape singles
That was big when I was little
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
Big when I was little
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill
They were big when I was little
Super nintendo and club nights at Bagley's
Smirnoff ice, open mic nights and acne
Wonder where you ended up
Cos I just can't thank you enough
Avirex jackets and strawberry ribena
Nike tn's, dreams of wembley arena aaaahh
Oooooohhhh ohhhh ohhhh
Those days don't seem so far
When I'm flicking through my old polaroid photographs
Me and yooouuuu
You always made me laugh
Dancing to cassette tape singles
That was big when I was little
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
Big when I was little
Like Nirvana and Lauryn Hill
They were big when I was little
