Resonance

Somehow, my heart really resonates with this song. So many things that have faded with time that come alive in my mind again with the slightest of reminders. Indeed, these two lines capture it best:

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.

Her name was written on a photograph
Right next to her red sunburnt 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 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
