American Aquarium - Six Years Come September lyrics
[American Aquarium - Six Years Come September lyrics]
I got a picture of you holdin' a picture
Of her taped to the dash of my car
I see it every time I check my speed or
Run it to the grocery store
The two of you were the only
Thing in life worth fightin' for
But since you've been gone a I
Ain't been much for fightin' anymore
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
Baby, you wold still be mine
I ain't had a drop to drink since
The day that you left me
Six years come September I've been
Cursed with this clarity
I stare in the mirror yellin' at
A stranger lookin' back on me
And the ghost of the man I could've
Been still haunts all my dreams
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
Maybe you wold still be mine
Foolish pride wouldn't let me give you
The keys to the oldsmobile
No way in hell I should've let
Myself get behind that wheel
I was drunk, it was dark
And I didn't see him comin' over that hill
I regretted it then, I regret it now
I guess I always will
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
The two of you would still be mine
I got a picture of you holdin' a picture of
Her taped to the dash of my car
Of her taped to the dash of my car
I see it every time I check my speed or
Run it to the grocery store
The two of you were the only
Thing in life worth fightin' for
But since you've been gone a I
Ain't been much for fightin' anymore
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
Baby, you wold still be mine
I ain't had a drop to drink since
The day that you left me
Six years come September I've been
Cursed with this clarity
I stare in the mirror yellin' at
A stranger lookin' back on me
And the ghost of the man I could've
Been still haunts all my dreams
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
Maybe you wold still be mine
Foolish pride wouldn't let me give you
The keys to the oldsmobile
No way in hell I should've let
Myself get behind that wheel
I was drunk, it was dark
And I didn't see him comin' over that hill
I regretted it then, I regret it now
I guess I always will
These days things don't come easy
It's all I can do at most just
To keep it between the lines
If I'd have done a better job of listenin'
The two of you would still be mine
I got a picture of you holdin' a picture of
Her taped to the dash of my car
