Six Years Come September Songtext
von American Aquarium

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 would 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 would 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
