I spoiled just like wine
Left a sour taste in your mouth
You said, it was not that that I changed
I just strayed
In the dark of the night

Love is patient and wise
But it's not always kind
When you learn how it leaves
So nimble and light
through fingers like sand
It never lingers
And I'm grating my hands

My patience is waning
I'm growing tired
In the scorn of the weather
My fickle heart fades
And I can't make the grade
But I'll graduate gently
without stories worth singing
of my own
Just need a little romance
I just need a little time
(Time)
Just need a little young love
To ease my mind

My ears ringing, teeth grind
Think I'd be able better off blind, she said
So that I won't picture it
I've yet to grow patient
I've yet to grow kind

Love was patient and wise
But didn't stay through the time
Preoccupied we were, now my smile's breaking
But if I learn to relax
all my muscles in vain
Float on the waves
see if your heart still remains
It's as wide as the ocean
The birds in the sky

My patience is waning
I'm growing tired
In the scorn of the weather
My fickle heart fades
And I can't make the grade
But I'll graduate gently
without stories worth singing
of my own
Just need a little romance
I just need a little time
(Time)
Just need a little young love
To ease my mind

It's a long way down
from the top to the bottom
It's a long way back
to a high from where I am

Long way down
from the top to the bottom
It's a long way back
to a high from where I am
