| 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 |
