The song was built on 2 sets of root chords or notes; G, Em and C, Am and continues with a bunch of associated chord-couples. Kirsten (not her real name!) actually did go away for summer, didn't come back when she said she would, no one actually heard from her for ages, I did miss her, and I really wasn't right.
lyrics
Kirsten’s gone, eyes are red, she’ll be right back, that’s what she said
Kirsten’s gone, somewhere nice, she’ll be right back, that’s what she said
Went away for summer, have to say I miss her, she’ll be back soon, any day soon
I haven’t heard from Kirsten, not even a card from Kirsten
I hope she’s alright, and loving her life
Kirsten’s gone, somewhere nice, she’ll be right back, that’s what she said
Went away for summer, have to say I miss her, she’ll be back soon, any day soon
I haven’t heard from Kirsten, not even a card from Kirsten
I hope she’s alright, and loving her life
Has anyone heard from Kirsten, I’m starting to worry bout Kirsten,
It’s been far too long, she’s not coming home
Can’t stop thinking of Kirsten, it’s driving me to distraction
It’s grinding me down, don’t mention her name
Can’t stop thinking of Kirsten, Don’t wanna stop thinking of Kirsten
I’m really not right, I’m really not right, I’m really not right, I’m really not right
