Big Mistake

They taught us kids in school between the recess breaks That the universe just sorta fell together like a big mistake It started with a bang that sent the pieces flying And then it cooled and twirled into dinosaurs and dandelions It was a big mistake to have eyes that see To have love like this inside of me To have lips that smile as I swim your kiss To have minds that will forever every part of this All the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above And the autumn leaves and the falling love The still reflection in the moonlight lake All they said, it was a big mistake, it was a big mistake Now back in science cla*s through the looking gla*s We were magnifying little ancestors of our ancient past Watch 'em break a couple chromosomes, wait a zillion years or so And get an ostrich, a jellyfish, a kangaroo and a Romeo It was a big mistake to have eyes that see To have love like this inside of me To have lips that smile as I swim your kiss To have minds that will forever every part of this All the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above And the autumn leaves and the falling love The still reflection in the moonlight lake All they said, it was a big mistake, it was a big mistake The choreography of a coincidence At the turning point there was eternity behind a moment's glance It was for you and me, the timing made us laugh The fact that anyone could find their only one along this darkened path It was a big mistake to have eyes that see To have love like this inside of me To have lips that smile as I swim your kiss To have minds that will forever every part of this All the moonlight shrouded in the clouds above And the autumn leaves and the falling love The still reflection in the moonlight lake All they said, it was a big mistake, was a big mistake Was a big mistake
