"The Riff" lyrics - DAVE MATTHEWS BAND

Ain't it unny 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
Please don't ever leave me alone in here
Take me out and 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 have to stay the same
If you stay with me
Baby, you and me could change the game

I don't know the man that's living in my head
Till you reached down and brought the light back in
No, I don't know the man 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
You stay with me
Baby, you and me we'll change the game
You stay with me
I will follow you and start again
Baby

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

Remember how we used to dance?
Just like it was everything

You stay with me
That don't mean we have to stay the same
You stay with me
Baby, you and me could make a change
You stay with me
But that don't mean I wanna stay the same

You stay with me
Baby, you and me we'll change the game
