John Hampson - Absolutely (Story of a Girl) lyrics

[Hook 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Hook] 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 [Hook 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 [Verse 2] 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 Now how do we get there today When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes [Hook] 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 [Hook 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 [Hook] 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 [Hook 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 [Hook 2] 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 [Hook 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 [Outro: Nine Days] When she smiles
