Christmas Song lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
Soon to be his wife, take him as her husband
A surprise on the way, any day, any day
One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The Wise Men came, three made their way
To shower him with love
While he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love love, love
Love, love was all around

Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried
Always out on his own
He met another Mary who for a reasonable fee
Less than reputable as known to be
His heart was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around

When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree
Said "Oh, Daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening scene
Instead I fear I spill the blood of our children all around."
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around

So the story goes, so I'm told
The people he knew were
Less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers
Drinkers and jokers
All soul searchers
Like you and me
Like you and me

Rumors insisted he soon would be
For his deviations taken into custody
By the authorities, less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around

Preparations were made
For his celebration day
He said, "Eat this bread, think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children's all around"

Father up above
Why in all this anger do you fill me up with love, love, love?
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around

Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love?
Fill me love, love, yeah
Love, love, love
Love, love, and the blood of our children all around

I'll Back You Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

Minarets lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Santa Maria
Choose your children
Santa Maria
Virgin child
All our wars
Over you we are fighting
And all our time
Faith justifying

Brother caged
Babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound
Beaten and bleeding
The TV's on
To me this explains it
Wearing a tie
Like Daddy speaks it

Screaming from the minarets
And, later on, we'll all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes, indeed, and making faces

Rain on the ground in a space, God has grown
Alone 'til a man, looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you

What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human
What you see, what you see, what you see
What you see is human, yeah

Screaming from the minarets

One Sweet World lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Nine planets around the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much we take for granted

So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

If green should turn to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat?
If the mountains tumble away, the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet?

So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in our mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury here
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we can rest safely

One sweet world
Around a star is spinning
One sweet world
And in her breath, I'm swimming
And here I will rest in peace

Recently lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Recently, I've been
All of content and dreaming, I have been
'Cause I been lately seeing
Quite a bit of this woman live on my street

People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away

Well, she comes to me, I watch her drink
I watch her comb her hair
Both say that we, oh, never before have
Felt as recently

People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it

Well, she and me go to places quiet
Where we are quite alone
We kiss and we hold together
We will be until we're done

People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do that

Walk and talk, we both do quite well
And kissing all the time, kissing all the time
And I'm looking forward to much more

Both say that we never before
Never before have felt as recently
People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away, go away

People stare and we just ignore
And we just ignore everything
People stare and we just ignore them
And they go away, go away, go away

People stare and we just ignore
"What's the use in hiding out?"
She says all the time
Let their eyes do the worrying about it
And hurrying about it

Seek Up lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Sometimes, I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again

Oh, life, it seems a struggle between what we think, what we see
I'm not going to change my ways just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud, willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong, ashes to ashes, all fall down
I look around about this round about this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall, his mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Oh, sit a while with TV's hungry child, big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a Coke or a smoke, keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me, mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again

Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, I am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion and our cup is overflowing
You see up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he find his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha

Say
Oh, say

Look at me and my fancy car and my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again, take a look again
Everyday things change, basically they stay the same

Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion and your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion, sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster for him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not going
Ha, ha
Ha, ha

Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again
Fall back again

The Fly lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

When I pull the wings off of the fly
Fly never wonders why I did it
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did

You know, they didn't ever have to love me
No, no, no and no one will ever love them now
Oh, oh, but they
They always wanted somehow to save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves

Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
I only ever wanted to be with you

I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why
You know, they never really ever have to love me no, no, no
But no one will ever love them now
They always thought that somehow they could save me
Why, oh, why
For pity's sake, they should have saved themselves

Oh, oh, but you
You always said I never missed a note
And nobody ever knew me like you do
You do
You always said it's going to be okay
Okay
I only ever really wanted to be with you

I only wanted someone to play
Play play play
When I pull the wings off of the fly
The fly never wonders why I did it

The Song That Jane Likes lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again, hey

Would you like to play
With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage?
While you lie around
With your hands up and down
So resigned you will fall down

While you around here play
Wild on the warm and far away
While you around here play, the days
Keep scribbling themselves in tidy lines

Would you like to play
With a fool holding hands?
With a one-eyed jack of spades?

While on the deck they sing
All of the captain's cards are kings
Still he and the queen are lost at sea
I hope it isn't you and me

And I'll be back 'round again
Yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend
And we'll find that place
That we had danced in so long ago

And in plays to write the wire in
I'll come back again
Torching time talking rhymes in
I'll come back again
With this resigned
The letter, I sign

"Come Tomorrow" (2018)

Samurai Cop (Oh Joy Begin) lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

The day you came
Naked, afraid
Your mother screams and pushes you
The day you came

Oh joy begin
Weak little thing
More precious there'll be nothing known
Oh joy begin

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way in fear and hate
Oh joy begin

First just one step
One word and then
With laughter single life begins
First just one step

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way, in fear and hate
Oh joy begin

Innocent kiss
Black magic bliss
First broken bones, sudden and swift
Oh innocence

Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we begin the same
We lose our way in fear and hate
Oh joy begin
Oh joy begin
Oh joy begin

Can't Stop lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Don't go on the next plane the next plane

Love you cause I can't stop

I surrender
I'm cold like a junkie for you
You know, I burn like a junkie for you, baby

Love you cause I can't stop
You know, I need you, cause it won't stop No I don't want to have you, but I but I can't stop Don't wanna love you, but it won't stop I'm like a junkie for you baby

Gonna leave you, but it won't stop
I love you, cause I can't stop
Won't stop
Can't stop

Idea Of You lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I saw you walk
You know you say
Like a ghost you know to me babe
Combat boots make you look slick
Oh no I see you walk home from school
You got so lost on the way
You got me feeling like a kid
But this man is no kid you know
So I'm not goin pull your hair

I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Aw there you go again
Oh I don't know
And I see you walk past with your friends
Aw and I saw you laugh and whisper
And I'll talk I want you here
But you turn back and smile at me
Aw you got me feeling ok with that
So I'm not goin pull your hair

I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Bus stop dreamer
The late night
You with me
There's something moving
You can't stop, saying that you love me
You love me, you love me
Enough, enough you make me shy
But baby, I wake up

I saw you

I fall so hard inside the idea of you
That's why with you can't say what I mean
Wanna stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Oh it's so good, go on baby say it

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

We're laughin

Virginia In The Rain lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

All your friends are playing with fire
But you never know until you try
Come on lets go there, lets jump right in
We will rope swing to river swim
Virginia naked in the rain.
You make me feel like a kid again.
Don't want to say goodbye to you.
Summer always ends too soon.

Whatever you want, I will give you that
Tell me we won't grow old to fast
Let's make believe this is gonna last...Forever
Don't seem long enough...Forever
Don't seem long enough...

I will capture your flame
Take a rocket ship to the moon and back
We'll build castles in the riverbank
Don't ever grow up to fast
Turn up the music and dance
We'll turn up the music and dance

Whatever you want, I will give you that
Tell me we won't grow old to fast
Let's make believe this is gonna last...Forever
Don't seem long enough...Forever
Don't seem long enough...

I will hold you up over my head
Spread your wings and fly through the air.
Baby don't grow up too fast.
Let's turn up the music and dance, dance, dance
Baby don't grow up too fast.
Let's turn up the music and dance,dance, dance
Virginia naked in the rain
You make me feel like a kid again.
Don't want to say goodbye to you.
The summers always over much too soon...

Whatever you want, I will give you that
Tell me we won't grow old to fast
Let's make believe this is gonna last...Forever
Don't seem long enough...Forever
Don't seem long enough...

I will hold you up over my head
Spread your wings and fly through the air.
Baby don't grow up too fast.

Again And Again lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Mama save me save me
Mama bless me to my bones
You have start the fire
Reignite my soul
With your poison sting
Is deep and true
I'd do anything
Your sweet perfume
You bleed
'Til the well is overflow
You're my gold, my hunger
Where you go I will follow
Sweet poison sting
I see the light
I see everything
In you tonight
I breathe

In and out here we go
Over and again and again
Oh and the love you give to me
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you

All the stars
In the sky
So beautiful
In your eyes
Shine, shine
Reachin' out
Reachin' out for you
Just to kiss your mouth
Wanna turn you inside out
Is there such a thing as you do to me
Sweet poison sting lets me see
I'll be your king
'Cause you are my queen

In and out here we go
Over and again and again
All of the love you give to me
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you

Don't let it get away
And if we did
We're gonna get it back
And in time you and me
We will, we will, we will, we will be
Over and again and again
Oh and the love you give to me
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you

Turn around here we go
Over and again and again
All of the love you give to me
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you
Oh and the love
I'm gonna give it back to you
And the love
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you

All of the love you give to me
Mama I'm gonna give it back to you...

Do You Remember lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

(Farm Aid '17 Live Perfomance)

Do you remember
When we were small
Do you remember
When we believed

There were bones in the river
And ghosts in the attic
Don't go up there alone
The enemy's coming
We should take cover
'Cause the odds are against us
The odds are against us

Do you remember
When we were small
Do you remember
When we made believe

We're sinking in quicksand
There's no rope to save you
Well you're on your own
Panning for treasure
Making love in the backseat
We're all on our own
And the enemy's coming
We should take cover
But the odds are against us
The odds are against us

Do you remember
When we would scream

The color of sunshine
The color of laughter
Is the color of love
The color of water
Rising up like an ocean
And pouring all over us
The enemy's coming
We should take cover
The odds are against us

Do you remember
When we would scream out loud

Come out and get me
[?] coming
Won't you come out and play
Come out and get me
[?]
We should take cover
Oh, the odds are against us
The color of water
And the color of summer
Is pouring all over us

"Away From The World" (2012)

Broken Things lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Sometimes the road is crystal
And sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind
Tell me what it is what you think you're missing
And I will see what I can find

You want to be so sure of
Every step you take
You cant always know what's coming
You cant always trust the twist of fate

Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you

Stars shine down from the black
And we're picking though this broken glass
Well how could we know that our lives
Would be so full of beautifully broken things

Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you

War is the most vulgar madness
And winters can be so cruel
You can't always change the way things are
Like I can't change the way I think of you

Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my, love my, love my love
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you

Belly Belly Nice lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Think about what you want
Think about what you got
And all the things that'll heal or hurt you
'Cause when that big barn's full of peaches
It don't matter what the preacher preaches
The days are warm and the well is full of virtue

Jack and jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Because he was messing with the preachers daughter

Open up your wings
Make a dead man sing
Such a good good thing
Just can't be wrong no no no

You can't get too much love
Don't you feel it in your belly go get you some
You can't get too much love
The time is right for loving so come on come on

Can you feel it in your belly come on

Mamma's in the kitchen
Daddy's in the field
And baby girl is going to town
Because she likes the way it make her feel
Swimming in the river
Rolling in the mud
When the juice is dripping off your chin
One peach is not enough

You can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly come on come on
You can't get too much love
The time is right for loving come and get you some
You can't get too much love
Oh give it up, give it up, give it up

Oh the light that shines upon
The gift that everyone has for the taking
And happiness so pure as this
Is surely worth the making

Jack and jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Because he was messing with the preachers daughter

Love love love love love love love
Love love love love love love love

You can't get too much love
So if you feel it in your belly come and get you some
You can't get too much love
The time is right for loving say come on come on
You can't get too much love
Gonna eat you're belly jelly till the kingdom comes
You can't get too much love
So give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up

Mercy lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that we're making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
‘Cause crime won’t save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down and wait for a miracle to change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart

Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need

Me and you and you and you
Just wanna be free yeah
But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world
I've got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness

No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get
Til there is no reason
To fight

Mercy will we overcome this
Yeah one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need

Mercy will we overcome this
Have we come too far to turn it around
Ask too much to be a little bit stronger
Cause I wanna give you what you need

Mercy what will become of us
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I'll try to give you what you need

Gaucho lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

With fire to keep us warm
and tools we made from rocks and bones
A roof over your head
and walls to keep you safe in bed
There must be more than this
So God was born
and we in his image of fear and love
looked down upon from up above

We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change

We crossed the oceans wide
built cities to the sky oh Lord
Looked up and we were flying
but will we not survive ourselves

We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change

What will I say to my baby
Let me show you a movie
we landed a man on the moon
Now you could never believe it
ya we could do anything
We flew to the stars and back
down to the ground hard

Please wake up
Please wake up
Please wake up

[Children singing]
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things

[Children and Dave singing]
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we really wanna change things
We gotta do much more than believe
go on try it, go on try it
We gotta do much more than believe
if we wanna see the world change

Oh my little baby
let me show you this movie
You know we landed a man on the moon
I know it's hard to imagine
but we could do anything
under the stars.

Sweet lyrics

Try to swim, keep your head up
Kick your legs never give up, boy
If I could I'd turn it around
Let me out I wanna get out now
You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out the taste so sweet
Sweet
Sweet

I'm too high I wanna come down
And I'm too old to want to be younger now
But if I could I'd turn it around
Let me out I want to get out now

You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out the taste so sweet
Sweet
Sweet

Cover me, cover me, cover me
Till I'm gone
Cover me, cover me, cover me
Till I'm gone
Cover me, cover me, cover me
Till I'm gone
Gone

And if I could I'd turn it around yeah
You know the feeling when you're in too deep
And then you make it out it tastes so sweet

The Riff lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Funny 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
but please don't ever leave me alone in here
take me out, 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 gotta stay the same
if you stay with me
well baby, you and me we'll change the game

Well I don't know the man that's livin' in my head
'til 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.

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
if you stay with me
well baby, you and me we'll change the game
you stay with me
I'll follow you and we can start again, baby.

I only got a minute or two to spare
and I gotta whole damn life to fit in there
so why waste time staring at the T.V. set?
like I got dreams to kill and people to forget.

Remember how we used to dance, baby
just like it was everything?

You stay with me
and that don't mean we have to stay the same
you stay with me
baby, you and me can make the change
you stay with me
but that don't mean I wanna stay the same.

You stay with me
well baby, you and me we'll change the game.

Belly Full lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Oh my love
If I had my way then all your dreams
Would come true
Oh my love
All your dreams and all the world
Just for you
Oh my love
If I had my way
This for you

Spread yourself across my lips
And I spoon you in
The sweetest thing in all the world
Oh I want more
There is no place I'd rather be than here with you
Under the sun, the pouring rain, all the sky for you

Oh my love
If I had my way
This for you
Oh my love
Make your belly full
And all your dreams to come true

If Only lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Oh yeah
Some days it's so easy
Sometimes I forget how
Much I want you back again
Back again

Well maybe it's a game
You win some and you lose some
But when you've found a good one
Don't you let her get away
Don't let her go

Oh yeah
If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
Oh, to have you back again
Back again baby

Oh, I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me find my way back to you
Back to you

Walking past your window
You used to smile and throw
Your sweet kisses back to me
Back to me

Oh yeah
Remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one true
It seems like yesterday
Just like yesterday

Oh yeah, and I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you

I want you so take me back please
Take me back my baby

If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
Yeah

I'm just a fool baby
Playing Mr. Cool baby
Rolling round like I got nothing much to lose babe
But I know you and you know me
And I know you can see
So help me get my way back to you

I want you so take me back please
Take me back my baby

If only I could have you
Just the way I want to
Just the way I was
Yeah

Rooftop lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Standing on the rooftop
There's all these people watching
Hard to find the words
When you got so far to fall
Just trying to keep a secret
And never tell a soul no no
Take another drink so
I can loose control

I
I want you to
tell me that you want me, just want me too
I
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, just want me

If I was a winner
I'd cut the cards and deal them
Buy a great big house where
We could disappear
But you find yourself a sweet spot
And people want to get some
You're just anther dead man
Trying to fool the world

I
I want you to
tell me that you want me, want me too
I
I want you to
Tell me that you want me, want me too

I gave you the best of me
And you said goodbye
Should have taken the rest of me
See the morning come up come up
If you're going out tonight
Maybe I'll catch you right
Maybe we'll loose our minds tonight
And fall until we fly

I
I want you
tell me that you want me,want me too
I
I want you to just
Tell me that you want me, want me too

I
I want you
tell me that you want me,want me too
I
I want you to just
Tell me that you want me, want me

Snow Outside lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

You are like a secret garden
as I shuffle through this broken town
think of you and you are all around me
like the sky when the sun's going down
I want to tell the whole wide world
and see how love can light your soul
but you are like my secret garden
and I want to be with you alone

Oh, Hold tight
cuz the road can be a crazy ride
And I know we're going to be alright
Cuz you are here with me
Oh, woman is so right
And even if the oceans divide us
I will be here right by your side
For the rest of our days
Here for the rest of our days

If you are tired I'll bear your burden
If you are dreaming I will not disturb you
Whatever your heart desires love love
I'll clear the way for you
Come winter I will build you a fire
From the bones of who I used to be
Before you came and washed the weary away
Before you came here for me
So right every day and every night
By the fire with the snow outside
And the two of us
Oh child hold tight
If it gets to be a crazy ride
I'll be here right by your side
For the rest of our days
Oh, for the rest of our days

So right
Holding on to this crazy ride
Hold on we'll be alright
Me and you and you and me
Here you come you bring me real love
From the ground beneath to the stars above
I was growing down now I'm growing up
With you in my blood
Yeah this is real love
Shining down like the stars above
Arms out and I am growing up
With you in my blood
Oh you know that its alright
Feels bigger than the whole world wide
You know come the morning light
Oh I know that I am yours
That I am yours
That I am yours



Drunken Soldier lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Keep your head up
Try and listen to your heart
Be kind always, no matter
We all grow up
And someday well say goodbye
So shine your light while you got one

Make the most of what you've got
Don't waste time being trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up you heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not

Once round just once so take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up your heart cause that all we got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not

Through your window
That's one way to see the world
Step outside and look back into
Look and listen
And you decide what to believe
Shine your light while you got one

And make the most of what you got
Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
Fill up your head and fill up your heart and take your shot
Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not

That's not a star that's a satellite
Step it out
Step it out

That's not a star that's a satellite

That's not a star that's a satellite

That's not a star that's a satellite

Shake Me Like A Monkey lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

The thing I like about you
The way you do what you do
The thing I like about you
God and the devil alone could not have made you up

Two must have worked as one together
So good just want to eat you up
Let me like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing

Come on pretty babe make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever I'm yours

I can't stop thinking about you
yeah yeah yeah
why would I want to
I like coffee with toast and jelly
But I'd rather be licking from your back to your belly
I think I'm going to

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever I'm yours

Cigarettes and coffee broken heart and being lonely little girls
And ponies are the things that go together
Yes and no you have to choose Romeo and Juliet the hang man and his noose
You and me would go together

Kiss Kiss make a wish
Hope that it comes true
But I ain't waiting for the world to change
Gonna change the world for you

Come on pretty baby make you ose your mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever I'm yours

Come on everybody make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine

Funny The Way It Is lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens passing, fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this
And evening comes, and we're hanging out
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, "Why can't we be friends"
Someone is screaming crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody's going hungry, someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken, it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze, or water to a fish
The bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky, the jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Lying In The Hands Of God lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Baby I'll be your soldier. Gladly, I'll do your bidding
Just a taste of what your holding, for just a taste you could only... me.

Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love.
I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.

Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you, cut the wings off a butterfly? Fly.

Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.
If you feel angels in your hand, tear drops of joy runs down your face, you will rise.

Fillin' me up, now drain me
Skin begins to grow back slowly,
faster until I'm choking.
Really should call my mother, mother.

Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.

I am in love with nothing less.
Tear drops of joy runs off my face,
I will rise for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel, then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.

Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew, why would you?
If you never flew, why would you? You.
Why would you?

Why I Am lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I grew from monkey into man
then I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

It's why I am
why I am
why I am
Still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb. Hello
A king of men it makes no sense
When I bow to the priest while I worship the witch

But it's why I am
always the one to make you smile
Why I am
still snake in the woodpile
It's Why I am
still here dancing with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost takes me from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry
The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Its the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right, us and them of the world
It's the you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

[Tim Reynolds solo]

Its why I am
unlikely to agree
Why I am
climbin out of my monkey tree
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King
we'll be drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing
and when my story ends its gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King
Its Why I am
the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am
a snake in the woodpile
Why I am
still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

out of my head an into the womb
so will my ghost takes me from you
you can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry

Dive In lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green

I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water

A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of it all.

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean

One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on it's way to getting better?
and if so can you tell me how?

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to believe we are
we are not in control
though we would love to believe

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

Spaceman lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Probably get it wrong much as I get it right
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
I remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move baby

I like most liquor, but I don't like gin
Dont always like the skin I'm in
But when I get it wrong gotta start again
But I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move
I love the way you move

[Chorus]
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby, if we must
Just remember, Oh remember
I love the way you love me, baby
And I love the way you move

I'm not all bad, but I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but I'll be home for dinner
If God don't like me, he can send me to hell
But I love the way you love me, girl
I love the way you move

I pray to heaven to keep my place
But I looked in the mirror, saw the devil's face
And Id be a dog for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk, baby
you move, I love the way you move but

[Chorus]
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby, if we must
But Just remember, just remember
I love the way you move me
Oh yea I love the way you love me, baby

[Jam]

Bad days come when the good day's gone
Working as hard as the day is long
And a working man works
when I get home
I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you talk baby

[Chorus]
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have a good life?
But it don't always work out
Cry cry baby, if we must
But, Oh remember, Oh remember
All the people are on parade
thought I saw a spaceman tryna get laid
Doesn't everybody deserve to have the good life?
And it don't always work out
Cry cry baby, if we must
Oh remember, Just remember

I love the way you love me baby.
I love the way you move.

Squirm lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Please find your place when the room grows scarce,
Once we’re all inside the service can begin.
For a moment if you please forget what you believe.
And naked you will see that we are all the same.

The power of your kiss, your words, your lips,
Your flesh, your bones, exactly what you need.
Your flesh, your bones, exactly what you need.

(Drum beats louder)
(Drum beats louder)

Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion.
Cut out the differences, you feel like you belong.
Drum beats louder,
Drum beats louder,
Drum beats louder,
Drum beats louder.

Open up your head,
Open up you primitive.
Open up your mouth, and…

Open up your head,
You’re sweet primitive,
Open up your mouth, it’s comin’ out.

Out there, no food or drink,
How many days do you think you’d last on your diamonds and your pearls?
I’m not a king, no, not a hero, not a fool,
I’m not perfect, I’m flesh and bones,
And I’m exactly what you need.

Drum beats louder.
Drum beats louder.

Open up your head,
Open up you primitive,
Open up your mouth, and…

Open up your head.
You’re sweet primitive,
Open up your mouth, it’s comin’ out.

Open up your head,
Scream, sweet primitive.
Tell me what you said.

But how your kiss, your words, your lips,
Not a gun to your head,
You’re gonna die before you’re dead.

Not sad, when you’re gone,
But when your light’s still out,
Your dreams won’t let you fly,
Don’t be dead before you die.
Hunger, ‘til fed, give love instead.
When it gets inside, watch the dead man squirm.

Above all things, if kindness is your king,
Then heaven will be yours before you meet your end

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth, and…

Open up your head,
Open up sweet primitive,
Open up your mouth, it’s comin’ out.

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth, and…

Open up your head,
Open up sweet primitive,
Open up your mouth, it’s comin’ out.

Alligator Pie lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's

Tell me when help is gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to throw us a second line
The devil broke the levy and left us here to die

Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

All the things we know and
Everything we hoped for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar
Where the old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to me

Grace is all I'm asking
When will grace return
Grace is all I'm asking

Remember how I feel in those days of the summertime
Then Stella smiled, she said
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

Tell me lord when help is gonna come
Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

Seven lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I'm all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get in

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Sour as my fingers
Dirty pick pocket
I can still taste you
I won't wash my hands
Red is the color
Of the sun with my eyes closed
I can still taste you
And I will again

Woman please I'm in your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now

You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Woman please I am your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind

Time Bomb lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up

No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why

If Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky

No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so

Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces

When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?

No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against Jesus

Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
You can Hammer in the final nail
But help me pick up
the pieces

Baby when I get home
Help me pick up the pieces
You can hammer in the final nail
I wanna believe in Jesus

Baby Blue lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, 'cause you'll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me and you'll forever, my baby be.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
your blue, blue world, you're my baby blue.

Confess I'm not quite ready to be left.
Still, I know I gave my level best.
You give, you give, to this I can attest
You made me, you made me.
You and me forever, baby.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.

You And Me lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes [x2]

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby

Dreamgirl lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Yeah, Ya, Yeah
Yeah, Ya, Yeah Oh.

Yeah... Hey, alright...
(I) I would dig a hole all the way to China
unless of course I was there
and I'd dig my way home.
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world.
Still you're my best friend
and after a good, good drunk
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a

Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (Yeah)
Dreamgirl

I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
face down in the grass in the park in the middle of hot afternoon
Your top was untied and I thought how nice it'd be to follow the sweat down your spine.
You're like my best friend
Oh, after a good good drink
you and me wake up and make love
after a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a

Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl

Caught by a wave my back to the ocean.
It knocks me off my feet and
just as I find my footing
here you come again!

Dreamgirl, oh
Dreamgirl (mumble man)
The deep end...

Old Dirt Hill (Bring That Beat Back) lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me

Can't catch me ride my bike down the old dirt hill,
First time without my training wheels.
First time I kissed you I lost my legs,
Bring that beat back to me again.
I hear scream and shout out loud of innocence
And days when all we did would never end.

Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, take me there, can't catch me can't catch me

Smoking under the railroad bridge
I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill
The first time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
I hear scream and shout out loud of innocence
Days when all we did would never end

Screaming down that old dirt hill

Bring that beat back to me again

She stole __
That's when the days I remember seem so far away

That's just a kid. That's what I miss. Just a kid.
That's what I miss

Oh take me back, take me back to that beat again
Smoking on the railroad bridge

Bring that beat back to me again [3x]
First time all with good, good friends.

(Can't catch me, can't catch me)
Bring that beat back to me again [4x]

Stand Up (For It) lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

[The devil speaks]

Boys... Get up y'all!
Stand Up!

I woke up to the angels
Singing in my head
You look so good naked next to me
(There's) an angel in my bed

Stand Up!

I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
Still I'm so out of my mind
I'll shoot you up again
Stand Up! etc...

[mumble man]
Water save my soul

Stand Up! [etc]...

Smell like smoke and fire it's burning in us all.
You dropped me in the water
Lift me up save my soul

Stand Up!

American Baby lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
I hope you
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
But you could always make me laugh out loud

Smooth Rider lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Last night, no way

I was gonna be left hungry
and then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed.
It's just a game I play
It's just I roll that way
Don't think sweet baby
I'm messing with your head.

I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on,
(I) don't know why I like to carry on the way I do why

It's just that I'm in love with you

If you see me out there runnin'
And you hear the sheriffs comin'
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand.
If you know they coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away

I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on,
I don't know I like to carry on the way I do

It's just that I'm in love with you (Ahhhh)

If you see me out there running
And you If you hear the sheriffs coming
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand.
If you know their coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away

I'm a smooth rider baby
Oh, I'm a smooth rider baby

Oh, they out there runnin'...

Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives) lyrics - Dave Matthews Band


Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up

Oh baby it's not easy sometimes
They build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh I feel like I go crazy sometimes

Our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
The believers stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire

Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up

I Remember the words of the misguided fool
Do unto others as you'd have them do
Not an eye for an eye is the golden rule
Just leaves a room full of blind men

And the finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
Don't believe him leave and stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire

Everybody wake up [etc]...

Everybody wake up
If you're living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up

Out Of My Hands lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Out on my window ledge
I don't feel safe
And I stay
Looking down on you

It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now

I can't just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here

Its out of my hands for now
Its out of my hands for now

Oh it is
Down in from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge

Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all that believe stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire

Let me in
Let me in

I start to feel like I'm crazed

Betrayed

Out on my window ledge

Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all the believers stand behind him and smile
Watch the day's lights up with fire

Looking down from here
It's outta my hands for now
Out on my window ledge
It's outta my hands for now
So let me in
Let me in

Hello Again lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Sinnin' I've done my share of this, still I hope the Lord forgive me my sins
Ten years ago down by the lake, I saw my sweet love - her watery grave
I closed my eyes still see her face, I'd give my soul take back that day

Hello again
Its been too long,
Too long,
Too long,
Hello again
You know you got what it is I want

Anyway I'm gonna take it from you

Hello you know you got what it is I want anyway I know I'm gonna take it from you

Hello
Hello
You know
Hello again

??

Over and over I'm gonna see her face
I like to side my soul together well, man
Over and over I'm gonna see her face blown away on that day, I am

I am a waste of the flesh on my bones
I am a waste of the air in my lungs
Go far from me man go and be safe
The serpent, not God pours through my veins

Here we go

Hello again its been too long, too long, too long, hello again
You know you got what it is I want anyway I'm gonna take it from you
Hello again you know you got it what I want anyway I'm gonna take it from you

Hello, hello
You know
Hello again

Tuck a low __ dock shelter me, but
Over and over I'm gonna see her face

Come at me it likes the devil's skin, man
Over and over I'm gonna see her face blown away on that day, yeah

Hello
You know
Hello
Hello again

You know you got what it is I want anyway

you know, my love, I'm gonna take it from you
Hello

Louisiana Bayou lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

No no momma now devil don't do si do
Two young boys lyin' dead by the side of the road
The coins in their eyes represent the money they owe
No judge or jury ever gonna hear the story told

Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed

Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid that I'd get in the way

I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do you remember, lose everything

Funny I think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again

Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
Saw you there dancin' but I was afraid I might get in the way

I did not think I would see you again

Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Funny the feeling when forever ends
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you there dancin', well I was afraid I might get in the way

Never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
(Been) watchin' the years as they trickle away

It's everything, how time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Steal me away

It's like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What should I say?
See you here standin', and I am afraid I might get in the way

I never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
Do you remember I mean everything?

You steal me away
Like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What can I say?
That's you here standin', well I am afraid I might get in your way.

You Might Die Trying lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

To change the world,
Start with one step.
However small,
The first step is hardest of all.

Once you get your gate,
You will walk in tall.
You said you never did,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
Cause you---

If you close your eyes,
Cause the house is on fire.
And think you couldn't move,
Until the fire dies.
The things you never did,
Oh, cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
You'd be as good as dead,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.

If you give, you, you begin to live.
If you give, you begin to live.
You begin, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to give
You get the world, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to live.

You might die trying.
Oh, you might die trying.
Yeah, you might die trying.

The things you never did,
Cause you might die trying;
You'd be as good as dead.
You never did.

Steady As We Go lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

I walk half way around the world,
Just to sit down by your side.
And I would do most anything girl,
To be the apple of your eye.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times they are the gold.
And if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

Any place you wanna go,
Know I'll be next to you.
If it's treasure baby you're looking for,
I'll search the whole world through.

Know troubles they may come and go,
But good times they're the gold.
So if the road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

When the storm comes,
You shelter me.
And I don't say a word,
And you know exactly what I mean.
In the darkest times,
You shine on me.
You set me free.
And keep me steady as we go.

So if your heart rings dry my love,
I will fill your cup.
And if your load gets heavy girl,
I will lift you up.

Troubles they may come and go,
But good times be the gold.
So if this road gets rocky girl,
Just steady as we go.

Ah
Hold me,
Shine on me.
Oh, shine, shine,
Shine on me.
Shine, shine
Yeah shine on me.
Hey shine.

Hunger For The Great Light lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love

Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love try to oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you

I wanna be your hunger

I wanna see you open wide
And then I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

It's hiding to cure you
My aim to love you

You and I such a pretty thing
Smile, smile, you know you thrill me
Cross your heart and hope to die
You know I'd love to

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

You and I oh oh
Shine, shine

Oh great light of love

Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love

You come like an answered prayer
Praise God, try to love try to oh

Oh, I love you?

I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind

You, you, hey you
You, you, ohh
You, you, ohh

"Busted Stuff" (2002)

Busted Stuff lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Not enough,never too much, baby look just like love
Rolling stone gathers no moss but leave a trail of busted stuff
You know she’s going to leave my broken heart behind her
I’ll take what she’s giving up
You know she’s going to leave my broken heart behind her
I’ll take what she’s giving up yeah

Moving to kiss, sweet sugar lips, baby look just like love
Without a care she floats above me, she got me down here looking up
You know she’s going to leave my broken heart behind her
I’ll take what she’s giving up
You know she’s going to leave this broken man behind
She’s the one for me

When she move, she move so cool got me feel just like a fool
But inside is where the devil rides woman look just like love
You know she’s going to leave my broken heart behind her
I’ll take what she’s giving up
You know she going to leave this broken man behind
She’s the one for me

You know she going to leave this broken man behind

Grey Street lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey

Where Are You Going? lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Where are you going, with your long face pulling down?
Don’t hide away, like an ocean
But you can’t see, but you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down

I am no Superman
I have no reasons for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go is where I wanna be

Where are you going, where do you go?
Are you looking for answers to questions under the stars?
Well, if along the way you are growing weary,
You can rest with me until a brighter day
And you're okay

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go is where I wanna be

Where are you going, where do you go?

Where do you go?
Where are you going, where do you go?

I am no Superman
I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing
Is where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go is where I wanna be

Where are you going, where do you go?
Tell me, where are you going, where?

Let’s go.

You Never Know lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it – if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?

One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason

But rushing around seems what’s wrong with the world
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream

Lying on the roof counting
The stars that fill the sky I wonder if
Someone in the heavens looking back down on me – I’ll never know
So much space to believe

Funny when you’re small
The moon follows the car
There’s no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me

I worried if I looked away she’d be gone
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream

Walking through the wood
No cares in the world
The world has come to play
She’s all mine just for a day

There’s not a moment to lose in the game
Don’t let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time you’ll soon be dead
So play

All fall down
It won’t be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash
You think you can you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

But everyday should be a good day to die
Oh all fall down
It won’t be too long now
Every fire dies
I find it hard to explain how I got here
I think I can I think I can
Then again I will falter
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

Captain lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Crazy as I may make my way through this world
It’s for no one but me to say what direction I shall turn
I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day how I long for you my love how I long

Strange but it seems like there’s a mutiny brewing inside me
But I don’t want your pity only the promise that you’ll stay with me tonight
Now I am the captain of this ship
Curious hands and fingertips
Day after day oh how I long for you like crazy

Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won’t play with me again got all night

Same old song won’t you come stay all my life after all
Oh how could I even try to fight after falling into your arms?
Oh mesmerized by your smile the way it lights up under your eyes
Oh how could I even try love won’t you stay with me?

Oh our love - how you do me
Oh my love - come now lets go again
Oh our love - everything
Oh won’t play with me again we got all night

The same old song
Won’t you come dance with me my love after all?

Raven lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

What you got what you got in your hand? - a father said to son
I got the whole world here Daddy between my fingers and my thumb
Well you take care of it please - it’s the only one
Well it would take me a lifetime old man to undo what you’ve done
To undo what you’ve done

Oh come on now boy think what would Jesus do?
He shake his head like an angry mother - spoke the boy and say I did what I could do
But you take care of it please – it’s the only one you got
And it’d take ten lifetimes boy to undo what I’ve done

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
As I stand here - the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

What you got what you got in your hand? Your secret’s safe with me
Well I found the truth friend let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please - it’s the only one there is
Can I twist it please can I give it just a little twist

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
Everything is open now everything is shut down, down, down
No one is holding even if you even if your sure
You never know it all the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
Everything is open now is everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping even if you even if you know
You never know it all - nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twisting

Grace Is Gone lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Neon shines through smoky eyes tonight
It’s 2 am - I’m drunk again it’s heavy on my mind
I could never love again so much as I love you
Where you end where I begin is like a river going through
Take my eyes take my heart I need them no more
If never again they fall upon the one I so adore

Excuse me please one more drink
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on

One drink to remember then another to forget
How could I ever dream to find sweet love like you again
One drink to remember and another to forget

Excuse me please one more drink
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and I’ll be gone

You think of things impossible and the sun refuse to shine
I woke with you beside me your cold hand lay in mine

Excuse me please one more drink
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll go

Excuse me please one more drink
Could make it strong cause I don’t need to think
She broke my heart my Grace is gone
One more drink and I’ll move on
One more drink and I’ll be gone
One more drink my Grace is gone

Kit Kat Jam lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Hey, golden girl, with your hair swinging down
All of this love you have going round
What will you do when the gold turns to grey?
Have you thought now
Well, what the hay, give us some

Cover yourself with the safety of lies
You'll find it's easier 'til you face dying
Oh, sweetest smile in a confident come along
All of this longing you will done

Up and out, goes to your heart
And you will make yourself higher up, little fool
And love and go down and pay to go on
We'll lie on water, and oh
On the way back I slip on the ceiling

Caught you just then, hands were in the cookie jar
How can we share when you sneak up and go?
I've no intention of losing by beard
How they design and then we go again

Oh God, them horses were racing
And, oh, bring me down
Could put Humpty Dumpty back together again
Now the wall won't hold anyone
I walk in the slide
Wait and reach your lady
This is the short one
Short way to lay in

Oh, let her leave my hand I've given up
Whoa, how is too late now

Oh, free, just...
Were you lying?

Digging A Ditch lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m old
Digging this ditch my story’s told

Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise
Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Where all these questions spinning round my head will die, will die, will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m through
Digging this ditch I’m digging for you

Where all these worries wear down on me will rise
Where all these habits pull heavy at my heart will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Not what you should be or what you’ve become
Just get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Where all these disappointments that grow angry out of me will rise
Will die, will die, will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch

Big Eyed Fish lyrics - Dave Matthews Band

Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he’s dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be

But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

You see this crazy man decided not to breathe
He turned red and blue - purple, colorful indeed
No matter how his friends begged and pleaded the man would not concede
And now he’s dead you see the silly man should know you got to breathe

But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side

No way, no way
No way out of here

You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree
One day decided to climb down and run off to the city
But look at him now lost tired living in the street
As good as dead you see what a monkey does - stay up your tree

But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side

Oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem so much better on the other side

No way, no way, no way
No way out of here

Rain in my dreams

Fall away

Bartender lyrics - Dave Matthews Band


If I go before I’m old
Oh brother of mine please don’t forget me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free, after three days in the ground

Oh and if I die before my time
Oh sweet sister of mine please don’t regret me if I go
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground
Bartender please, fill my glass for me
With the wine you gave Jesus that set him free after three days in the ground

I’m on bended knee I pray Bartender please
Oh when I was young I didn’t think about it,
But now I can’t get it out of my mind
I’m on bended knee please father please

Oh if all this gold, should steal my soul away
Oh dear mother of mine, please redirect me if this gold
Bartender you see, this wine that’s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil’s tree roots
Deep deep in the ground

Bartender you see, this wine that’s drinking me
Came from the vine that strung Judas from the devil’s tree roots
Deep deep in the ground
I’m on bended knee I pray Bartender please
I’m on bended knee please mama please
Oh when I was young I didn’t think about it,
But now I just want to run and hide
I’m on bended knee Bartender please
