[Intro]
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Big when I was little
Big when I was little
Just like Malcolm in the Middle
That was big when I was little
[Verse 2]
Oh, this box is haunting me, I can't throw it away
School reports and birthday cards feels like yesterday
Clip on diamantes makes me think of Friday nights
Leaving after class with me on the back of your bike
[Pre-Chorus]
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, yeah
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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-ah
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
