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?
David John Matthews (born January 9, 1967) is an American musician, songwriter, record producer and political activist. He is best known as the lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band (DMB). Matthews was born in Johannesburg, and moved frequently between South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States while growing up. Matthews started playing acoustic guitar at the age of nine.
From 1991 to 2003, Matthews predominantly focused on songwriting and performing with the Dave Matthews Band, which he started in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1991. He also has done various solo performances and produced other records. During the period from 2000 to 2010, his band sold more tickets and earned more money than any other act in North America. The band's 2012 album Away from the World made them the only group to have six consecutive studio albums debut at number one on the Billboard charts. This record was extended to seven consecutive number one albums with the 2018 release, Come Tomorrow.
In addition to music, Matthews has had multiple acting roles. He has also won two Grammy Awards: one with the Dave Matthews Band in 1997 for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group ("So Much to Say") and one in 2004 for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance ("Gravedigger") from his solo album.
