Lyrics

this is the story of a girl
who cried a river
and drowned the whole world
and while she looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiled...

how many days in a year
she woke up with hope and she only found tears
and i can be so insincere
making her promise is never for real
as long as she stands there waiting
wearin the holes on the soles of her shoes
how many days dissappear
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 looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiled...

how many lovers mistake
just to put up with this every day and all day
how did we wind up this way?
washing the mouths with the words that we say
as long as we stand here waiting
wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
how do we get there today?
we've been walking too far for the price of the 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

this is the story of a girl
who cried a river
and drowned the whole world
and while she looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiled...
 
(guitar solo)

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

(spoken)
this is the story of a girl
who cried a river
and drowned the whole world
and while she looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her

this is the story of a girl
her pretty face
she hid from the world
and while she looked 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 looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiled...
(louder)
when she smiles...
 

that's it folks...repeat a couple of times...this took a whole 30
minutes but it's definetly a good song...later
(btw this song is for lauren/lauryn...i miss you and will see you
soon...)
