Nine Days - Absolutely (Story of a Girl) lyrics

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 her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear?
When 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

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

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this
Every day and all day?
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the
Words that we say?
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the
Soles that we choose
How do we get there today
When we're walking 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 but 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 and lonely there
I absolutely love her when she smiles

Well, 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
A pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

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

When she smiles
