Performance of the Day: Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Say Goodbye

This may be my favorite Dave and Tim song, its quiet but that accentuates the beauty in the lyrics.  It's a song about two good friends who are attracted to each other enough to make an attempt to push their relationship to the next level despite the fact they know it won't last.  Hence, "Tomorrow we'll go back to being friends."  I'm pretty sure everyone has experienced that, and some of the greatest relationships and experiences can form between two people who were extremely close prior to physical attraction.  Throw in the fact that Tim Reynolds is fantastic, and you've got a really powerful song.


Some of the lines I love:

"When we make our passion pictures,
you and me twist up secret creatures."

"We kiss and sweat,
we'll turn this better thing to the best."

"Just a rogue kiss, tangled tongues and lips."

"Tonight lets do this thing,
all we are is wasting hours
until the sun comes up and it's all ours."
