Dave Matthews
The Riff
[Verse 1]
Funny how time slips away
Looking at the cracks creeping across across my face
I remember the little kid living in here
He'll be living in here probably till 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
Please don't ever leave me alone in here
Take me out, shake of the dust, shake off the fear
Please don't leave me baby
Please don't leave me yet

[Chorus]
If you stay with me
That don't mean we gotta stay the same
If you stay with me
Baby, you and me will change the game

[Verse 2]
But I don't know the man that's living in my head
Till 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
[Refrain]
Remember how we used to kiss, baby
Kiss like it was everything?
Remember how we used to love, baby
Love like it was everything?

[Chorus]
You stay with me
That don't mean we have to stay the same
You stay with me
Baby, you and me will change the game
If you stay with me
I'll follow you and we can start again, baby

[Verse 3]
I only got a minute or two to spare
And I got a whole damn life to fit in there
So why waste time staring at the TV set?
Like I got dreams to kill and people to forget

[Refrain]
Remember how we used to dance, baby
Just like it was everything?
Remember how we used to love, baby
Love like it was everything?
[Chorus]
You stay with me
That don't mean we have to stay the same
You stay with me
Baby, you and me can make a change
You stay with me
That don't mean I wanna stay the same

You stay with me
Baby, you and me can change the game
