Dave Matthews Band – Stay Or Leave lyrics
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.
And you used to laugh under the covers,
Maybe 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 days' afternoon haze?
Well isn't it strange how it changes everything we did?
Did I do all that I should-that I could have 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 days' afternoon haze?
Well isn't it strange how it changes 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?

    The singer misses his ex with all his heart after being together for so long and planning a future. He hoped she wouldn’t leave, even if it was for the best but she still did. He wonders if he did everything he SHOULD have done then ultimately what he COULD have done extra, even if he did everything right, anything, to keep her from leaving. He was so used to her being in his life he is lost without her each day. The memories of others wanting to be them, he now shares their envy and wants to be back in the happy days when they were together…. dancing as a couple.
