Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe different, but remember
Winters warm there, you and I
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
When the summer comes, the river
Swims at midnight, shiver cold
Touch the bottom, you and I
With muddy toes
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
Was good, good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
The way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
[Chorus]
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?
[Bridge]
With the rest of today's afternoon
Hey, isn't it strange how we change?
Everything we did, did all that I should?
That I could've 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 day's afternoon
Hey, isn't it strange how we change?
Everything we did, did I do all that I could?
[Outro]
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 went, babe?
What day is this?
