The song is in C major, and - aside from the Bb major in the instrumental sections - the only chord with an accidental note is D major (with an F#). In two of the verses, the lyrics above this chord describe a change. In the first verse, the line there is "And all the rain seemed to turn to tears" and in the third verse, "I know things will never be the same." That F# accidental helps to musically portray the "turn" and not being "the same." One of the voices in the backing vocals even goes from an F natural to an F# during that line, emphasizing the accidental.
