Her name was written on a photograph   Right next to her red, sun burnt 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 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's that easily led 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 drunk   And the cigarette 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
