Jamie Cullum -Photograph

Her name was written on a photograph

Right next to her red sunburned face

It all had happened in that long tall grass

About a mile from her old place

I can't remember how it started and if it lasted that day in the sun

We said that we were going to study hard

We held our books instead of hands

She held a blanket over cans of beer

I can't deny I was so full of fear

It's just another story caught up in another photograph I found

And it's seems like another person lived that life

A great many years ago from now

When I look back on my ordinary ordinary life

I see so much magic though I missed it at the time

When I look back on my ordinary ordinary life

I see so much magic though I missed it at the time

And there's the first time that I tried that stuff

I think I look a little green

I remember throwing up behind a bush

And I found it hard to use my feet

And who was that easily laid little boy who's really off his head

It was the same night that I kissed that girl

The tall one with the auburn hair

I remember laughing 'cause to kiss me

She had to sit down on a chair

And she tasted like the schnapps she'd drunken

And the cigarettes she'd stolen from her mum

And it's just another story caught up in another photograph I found

When I look back on my ordinary ordinary life

I see so much magic though I missed it at the time

When I look back on my ordinary ordinary life

I see so much magic though I missed it at the time

When I look back on my ordinary ordinary life

I see so much magic though I missed it at the time
