Six Days in June Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I get down so I can get up
And I break down so I can break up
I was thinking about thinking about thinking
And went and made my head swim
And if I walked with you awhile
You would make it worth my while
And proceeded to tear me limb from limb


[Chorus]
The bet was made I kneeled and prayed
And went off like a shotgun
You said I reminded you of a ghost
But how do you know I'm not one
You told me if I kissed you it'd be easier in the long run
You said you'd give me a reason but you know I've already got one

[Verse 2]
I slow down so I can speed up (yes he does, yes he does, oh he does)
And I wind down so I can wind up (yes he does, yes he does, oh he does)
I was thinking about thinking about thinking
But it only made my brain freeze
And if I walked with you awhile
You would make it worth my while
How did you know I love tricks like these
[Chorus]
The bet was made I kneeled and prayed
And went off like a shotgun
You said I reminded you of a ghost
Well, how do you know I'm not one
You told me if I kissed you it would be easier in the long run
You said you'd give me a reason but you know I've already got one

[Bridge]
And if I could paint you a picture it’d be nothing less than tragic
I would trade a lifetime for a moment now of magic
I would kick the bucket if it didn't sound so drastic
But my feet are made of tombstones and my dreams are made of plastic

[Outro]
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) I was way out of tune
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Just a joke, a cartoon

(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Oh, I did not swoon
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) For six days in June

(Oh yeah, oh yeah) I was getting down low
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Baby, blow by blow
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) A trainwreck honeymoon
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) For six days in June

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
