How did we wind up this way?

"Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by 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
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 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 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
Her 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"




This has been quite the week so far. I went to the poppy festival and it was really fun, but I got a pretty bad sunburn. D: It's ok, though, it was totally worth it. I've been so busy. With half of my family disabled it is now, more than ever, my job to keep the house kept up and the yard looking well. I definitely don't want a sanction from the fire marshals. lol I'm practically running this house on my own... and yet, my mother still gets angry at me for taking lunch into my room so that I can multitask... /sigh. hahaha. It's all one big joke, I can't wait to get back to a world that makes sense. someday, someday.

Nostalgia days has me remembering how things were and has me realizing how far I've come, or rather, how much things have changed. It's not necessarily bad, or good for that matter, it just is. It has made me realize that I am capable of so much more than what I am reaching for these days, now I just have to reach higher.
