Absolutely: 9 Days
~Refrain 1~
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 the year
she woke 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 did she fear
when you look in the mirror, say, "How do you choose?"
~Bridge~
Well, 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
~Refrain 1~
How many lovers would stay,
just to put up with this every day and all day?
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 holes in the soles of our shoes,
how did we get there today,
when we're walking too far for the price of a shoe?
~Bridge~
~Refrain 2~
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
~Bridge~
~Refrain 1~
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
~Refrain 1~
When she smiles...
