Oh hail the lords of '90s catchy alt-pop songs! This is probably THE pinnacle of that. I remember being fairly young and singing this, and it was one of Buddy's favorite songs at the point in time. Anyway, today is Charlie's birthday, so I'm to be on my best behavior, so to speak. Essentially, I'm supposed to "act normal" because he doesn't like that I'm weird. Actually a couple weeks ago we were going to rent a video game and I said he should get Wanted, because confidentially...I've always wanted to be a secret assassin who curves bullets. With that said, he told me not to talk to him, because people MAY assume he knows me. Meh, who cares? For someone who doesn't care...he cares an awful lot, you know? I really don't think I could care less. Anyway, onto the song!
Absolutely (Story of a Girl)- Nine Days
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?
I can be so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the souls of her shoes
How many days disappear?
You look in the mirror so how do you choose?
And the clothes that you wear
Look swell the next day
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.
How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this shit day after 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 clothes on the souls of our shoes
How do we get there today?
When we're walking too far for the price of her shoes.
And the clothes that you wear
Look swell the next day
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
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her.

I absolutely love her
When she smiles!
When she smiles!
