Six Years Gone
Six Years Gone: Embracing Liberation and Living Without Regret
Lyrics
It's been forever and a day since I felt like this
Expressing a long period of time since feeling a certain way.
I want a fifth of wild turkey and I want to lip kiss
Desire for wild and unrestrained experiences, possibly involving alcohol.
And I don't miss that girl
Claiming not to miss a past relationship.
If I did I wouldn't let it show
If missing the girl, preferring not to show it openly.
I might go to the moon, might wind up dead
Mention of risky behaviors like going to the moon or facing potential danger.
Wake up in morning in a strangers bed
Waking up in unfamiliar situations, suggesting a carefree lifestyle.
Well I'm not concerned
Indifference to concerns and consequences.
With any of that no more
Emphasizing a lack of concern for certain things.
Six Years Gone
Acknowledging a significant passage of time, possibly referring to a relationship.
Water through my hands
Metaphorically describing time slipping away like water through hands.
Well you can blame it on me
Accepting responsibility for the situation, possibly a failed relationship.
Say I wasn't your kind of man
Being deemed unsuitable as a partner.
Well I'm in no mood to fight, no mood to bicker
Expressing a lack of interest in conflict or argument.
Sittin' in the back seat, drinkin' your liquor
Engaging in carefree activities, like drinking, regardless of consequences.
And everything tonight suits me just fine
Contentment with the current state of affairs.
Well now that little girl beside me barely knows my name
Describing a casual relationship with a girl who may not know much about the singer.
That I should say she loves me just the same
Contrasting the girl's love with the singer's casual attitude.
But I'm not about to say no
Willingness to accept opportunities without hesitation.
When she offers me a ride
Accepting a ride from the girl despite the lack of a deep connection.
Six Years Gone
Reiteration of the significant time that has passed.
Water through my hands
Continued metaphorical representation of time slipping away.
Well you can blame it on me
Repeating the idea of being blamed for the situation.
Say I wasn't your kind of man
Reaffirming the singer's perceived inadequacy as a partner.
SOLO
Instrumental solo section.
Six Years Gone
Restating the duration that has passed, emphasizing its impact.
Water through my hands
Repeating the metaphor of time slipping away through hands.
Well you can blame it on me
Echoing the sentiment of being blamed for the situation.
Say I wasn't your kind of man
Reiterating the perception of not being the right kind of man.
Yeah you can blame it on me
Encouraging others to attribute the situation to the singer's perceived shortcomings.
Say I wasn't your kind of man
Repeating the suggestion that the singer is not the right kind of man.
