Big Mistake Lyrics - Singles - David Wilcox

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
