Six Years Come September - American Aquarium

I got a picture of you holding a picture of her taped to the dash of my car

I see it every time I check my speed or run up to the grocery store

The two of you were the only thing in life worth fighting for

But since you’ve been gone, I ain’t been much for fightin' anymore

These days things don’t come easy

It’s all I can do most just to keep it between the lines

If I’d have done a better job of listenin'

Maybe 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 just stare in the mirror yellin' at a stranger looking back at me

And the ghost of the man I could have been still haunts all my dreams

These days things don’t come easy

It’s all I can do 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 have let myself ever 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 and I guess I always will

These days things don’t come easy

It’s all I can do 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 holding a picture of her taped to the dash of my car
