Stay or Leave

By: Dave Matthews

Maybe different, but remember
Winters warm there, you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
In the river, swim at midnight, shiver cold
Touch the bottom, stars are bright
With muddy toes

Stay or leave
I want you not to go, but you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go, but you did

Wake up naked, drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good, good love
We used to laugh under the covers
Baby, not so often now
The way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard

Stay or leave
I want you not to go, but you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go, but you did

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon, hey
Well, isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I should?

That I coulda done?

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be, too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me?
What day is this
Besides the day you went?

So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon, hey
Well, isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could?

Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be, too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me?
What day is this?

A very beautiful piece of music. Dave Matthews is a very talented guitarist and songwriter, and I hope to go to another one of his concerts someday.
