"Miss September" lyrics - LIZ PHAIR

Well, I've been in this garden of Eden a long time
And I've never seen Adam do anything I understand
When I see you gunning for me double four time
Then I probably haven't been doing the best that I can

So if you miss how we were in September
And you wonder if I know what we had
Well, I'm sorry that you have to remember
But don't be sad

Because I've been happy too
Yes, I have
I wanna spend my life with you

They've got you in ropes and they're prodding you all night
The lion must roar if the crowd's gonna fill up the stands
Right now it's a struggle to just hold your head high
Well, baby, hang on, 'cause I'm coming as fast as I can

So if you miss how we were in September
And you wonder if I know what we had
Well, I'm sorry that you have to remember
But don't be sad

Because I've been happy too
Every day
I wanna spend my time with you

And I'll take you down
Through your pain, and your tears, break it down
And I'll stay in your eyes till you sleep
And I'll lay with your prize inside of me
Keep it calm, and keep it safe
Until you awake

I've been happy too
Yes, I have
I wanna spend my life with you

I've been happy too
Every day
I wanna spend my time with you
