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
