Big Mistake Lyrics

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 class through the looking glass
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
