Maybe different but remember
Winters warm where you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes in the river
swims at midnight shiver cold
Touch the bottom you and I
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
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But 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
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
When 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
Isn't it strange how we change everything we did
Did I do all that I could?

Remember we used to dance
When 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?

Didn't he have a bad experience with his tour bus on a Chicago bridge?  Anybody identify the bridge on the album cover?  Did this album pre or post date that bridge incident?

The best song I've heard from Dave in years! Great lyrics, and a ton of fun to play on guitar.

should an artist be judged by his/her fans? If so, then Dave has some problems. I saw him at a major festival some years ago, and the crowd was not only huge but they totally did NOT get the whole festival idea. Rude, aggressive, and territorial. Sad. That point aside, I just don't "get" the buzz about DMB. Sorry.

though it has nothing to do with the song, I have to mention that Hitler was not a vegetarian. He wanted people to think so apparently. Just had to set the record straight. Not a bad song though.

Rather subjective. I don't care for the absolute tone of this. "It's only music to you if you enjoy it. Otherwise I feel that it's just noise." Sorry to nitpick, it's just that I can't see myself calling something noise if I don't care for something that's popular... well, unless it's rap.

It IS a rather unusual style, clipping off the syllables. But later in the song his phrasing flows more, so there's an interesting contrast going on. I like DM and B a lot, but recognize he's not for everyone. Especially when DMB was so ridiculously overplayed on commercial radio. c.

I feel like he dwells too much on the past in this album. Much more so than previous ones. He used to be enjoyable, but now I get a bit depressed listening to this lovesick drivel he puts out. 3. And not even deserving of that if you ask me.

For somebody who seems so much to dislike him, you must have listened to a great deal of his music quite a bit to deduce that they're all the same. It doesn't take a good musical ear to notice that, like him or not, his songs hardly all sound the same. Alpine wrote:

Yeah, I have never gotten it either. The aural equivalent of wallpaper to me ... blends in with the background. And yet some find him a poet. Such makes horseraces, I guess.

i only ever listened to early Dave... back in college of course. however, i do kinda like this one... relaxing, and without the backup gospel singers that really got on my nerves in songs such as 'stay'... i'll go 6, maybe 7 after subsequent listens.

Just occurred to me--Matthews' voice would be perfect for music aimed at children. His register would suit tales of animated forest creatures and the like. Think about it, Dave.

OK song. It doesn't really make me mad (like with other posters here). The high pitched yodeling makes me laugh. It's becoming his signature sound in an almost caricature-like way.

I'm not a fan of DMB at all, but the DMB was around LONG before Coldplay. Also, all rock music (can you even call it that anymore?) can trace its roots to one samll area of New Orleans. . . Congo Square. That is why it all sounds the same. Look it up!

This is pop music. There's no debating it. DM & JM may not be as talented as many in the indi music industry. But you have to admit they are raising the bar as far as pop music standards. Perhaps having Dave & John as part of the mainstream music scene will help the top 40 listeners realize that the world doesn't need another Britney!

Great song!! I sometimes wonder if I prefer Dave Matthews with this group (Tim Reynolds, Trey Anastasio, Brady Blade, Tony Hall, and anyone I forgot) over his normal band. I love both but definitely wonder what would evolve if Dave hung out with his 'friends' more often.

Have to admit that DM just doesn't do anything for me. Really not sure why. I just find the songs boring for some reason.

DMB either hits or misses with me. I actually like this song, couldn't figure out why until I read richards comment...I love Coldplay, and this song comes real close to that simple, melodic style, even resembles Chris Martin vocally a little in the end. So this song is nice to listen too, but not sure if I would credit DMB or Coldplay for that

Verily! DMB is the milk :( It is good for a musician to push... but not this far past his ability. Gracias a Dios for the mute button. Difficult to say who is worse DMB or John Mayer.
You and LJR are both serverly retarded...or ignorant. I apologize for someone utilizing techniques not so accepted in the mainstream.

Dave is loosing is creativity. I think that the best albums are the first few DMB cds. I wish that Dave would stop singing higher than he realy can and come down to earth. For my money John Mayer is far more talented song writer and a better guitarist than Dave.
