There she stands, pretty, dainty in bows
Make-up eludes, but the cracks, they still show
Do they know? Do they know?
So tell me why you hide that diamond ring
A stale teenaged romance, only seventeen
Does he know? Does he know?

If you've got the time
I'll bring regret
You bring the lies

When the winds of change bring on the pouring rain
I'll do without you, I'm fine without you
As the storms blow by, with a tired sigh,
I'll think about you
That's the price I pay for every day you stayed

So tell me something 'bout that teenaged romance
Three words to replace you if he gets the chance, girl
Two more weeks, and this one's over
Since summer's come, he's got you reminiscing
Under the bleachers, your lips pressed against his
Was it ever worth it? It was damn near perfect
But I can't make you stay

If you've got the time
I'll bring regret
You bring the lies

When the winds of change bring on the pouring rain
I'll do without you, I'm fine without you
As the storms blow by, with a tired sigh,
I'll think about you
That's the price I pay for every day you stayed

Let's be patient (One)
Time is wasting (more)
It's not quite right (time)
But we get by
I know you know that
The two of us knew we wouldn't
Dance all night
Let's not get caught up dropping lines

Is it worth the risk to take the chance
To stay the night and skip the dance?
Will it be the same when morning comes?

When the winds of change bring on the pouring rain
I'll do without you, I'm fine without you
As the storms blow by, with a tired sigh,
I'll think about you
That's the price I pay for every day you stayed
Every day you stayed
