Absolutely (story of a girl)

Nine Days

---

Chorus: 
 This is the story of a girl  
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world  
And while she looks so sad in photographs  
I absolutely love her  
When she smiles  
 
How many days in a year?  
She woke up with hope but she only found tears  
And I can be so insincere  
Making the promises never for real  
As long as she stands there waiting  
Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes  
How many days disappear?  
You look in the mirror, so how do you choose?  
 
Your clothes never wear as well the next day  
And your hair never falls in quite the same way  
You never seem to run out of things to say  
 
Chorus  
 
How many lovers would stay?  
Just to put up with this sh** day after day  
How did we wind up this way?  
Watchin' our mouths for the words that we say  
As long as we stand here waitin'  
Wearin' the clothes of the souls that we choose  
How do we get there today?  
When we're walkin' too far for the price of our shoes  
 
Your clothes never wear as well the next day  
And your hair never falls in quite the same way  
You never seem to run out of things to say  
 
Chorus  
 
And your clothes never wear as well the next day  
And your hair never falls in quite the same way  
You never seem to run out of things to say  
 
This is the story of a girl  
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world  
And while she looks so sad in photographs  
I absolutely love her  
 
This is the story of a girl  
Whose pretty face she hid from the world  
And while she looks so sad and lonely there  
I absolutely love her  
 
Chorus  
 
When she smiles
