Lyrics
BIG MISTAKE
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Then it cooled and twirled into dinosaurs and dandelioins
Chorus:
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 moonlit lake
All, they said, it was a big mistake, it was a big mistake
Now back to 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 orso
And get an ostrich, a jellyfish, a kangaroo, and a Romeo
Chorus
The choreography of a coincidence
At the turning point there was eternity behind a moment'sglance
It was for you and me the timing made us laugh
The fact that anyone could find their only one along thisdarkened path
