[Chorus]
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist
But I would absolutely love it
If he was mine
[Verse 1]
Bad dates on the east side
Breaks down in the meantime
Drinks whiskey to sleep right
But it don't do the trick 'cause life is a bitch
Moved here from a small town
Fell in with the wrong crowd
I don't blame him 'cause most people suck
And then leave you crushed
[Pre-Chorus 1]
He doesn't know my name
But I could give much more
And it's such a shame
I'm sure you'vе heard it all before
[Chorus]
This is thе story of a guy
Who's holding back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist
But I would absolutely love it
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Burnt out on Hollywood
Didn't go like he thought it would
And I watch him on the internet
Tryna be happy
He wouldn't have to if he knew that he could have me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know it all sounds typical
He's golden, I'm invisible
He'll never know
And maybe that's just how it goes
[Chorus]
This is the story of a guy
Who's holdin' back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist but I
Would absolutely love it
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
If he was mine (Oh-oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
And he looks so good
Walking through that door
Oh, I wish I could
Be the ending that he's looking for
[Chorus]
This is the story of a guy
Who's holdin' back the tears in his eyes
He doesn't know what he deserves
But he still falls so hard, it hurts (Oh)
This is the story of a boy
I'd adore him if I had a choice
It's like he don't know I exist but I
Would absolutely love it
If he was mine

I’m at the age where you start thinking about those childhood experiences that you buried for a while, especially as a queer person. And one of those things that every queer person can relate to is, there wasn’t a lot of music that we really heard ourselves in when we were younger. It came back into...
The rock band Nine Days‘ lead singer and guitarist, John Hampson, approved of their song “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” being sampled:
Over the years, there have been requests to do things with the song and my first instinct is to be protective. When I first met Jordy in person, he came over, hugge...
