Lyrics Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band

The Riff

Funny how time slips away

Looking at the cracks creeping across my face

I remember the little kid living in here

He'll be living here probably until I'm dead.

Please don't leave me, baby

Please don't leave me yet.

Sitting in a box away from the world out there

A world piled high with boxes just like this

But please don't ever leave me alone in here

Take me out, shake off the dust, shake off the fear.

Please don't leave me, baby

Please don't leave me yet.

If you stay with me

That don't mean we gotta stay the same

If you stay with me

Well baby, you and me we'll change the game

Well I don't know the man that's livin' in my head

'til you reach down and bring the light back in

No, I don't know the man that's living in my head

If I don't know the woman sleeping in my bed.

Remember how we used to kiss, baby

Kiss like it was everything?

Remember how we used to love, baby

Love like it was everything?

You stay with me

That don't mean we have to stay the same

If you stay with me

Well baby, you and me we'll change the game

You stay with me

I'll follow you and we can start again, baby

I only got a minute or two to spare

And I gotta whole damn life to fit in there

So why waste time staring at the T.V. set?

Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget

Remember how we used to dance, baby

Just like it was everything?

You stay with me

And that don't mean we have to stay the same

You stay with me

Baby, you and me can make the change

You stay with me

But that don't mean I wanna stay the same

You stay with me

Well baby, you and me we'll change the game
