MATCHBOOK ROMANCE STORY OF A GIRL (FEATURING BLINK 182, MATCHBOX 20, THIRD EYE BLIND) LYRICS

 
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


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

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



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



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!
