If I knew today what I knew back then
In a stitch in time we'd be more than friends
As the evening rays streamed through your hair
Would I be so bold, could I dream to dare?
Won't be the first to think we could, break all the rules
Won't be the last romantic fools
We could discuss morals, talk about right or wrong
Or I could just write it down in a song
And then the rain comes
And then the rain comes
And I'm left standing all alone, in a hole in a far, far, far, far, a far off foreign land
When we wake next morn we'll be far away
And we'll both pretend we never had that day
Look into my eyes, I'll know that it's still there
As you don your shades I know that you still care
But as the world moves on and the days turn into years
I'll pretend I never had those fears
Better let it fade out than explode with what might have beens
Was it ever more than a dream?
But when the rain comes
Yes, when the rain comes
I find I'm stuck right back here, it's like no time has gone, no time has gone at all
If I knew today what I knew back then...
