Just when im sure that i've got it all down
Something jumps up and spins me around
Sometimes its the light from my little boy's eyes
Takin' me by surprise

I've been to the city and i've been to the zoo
Learned all about monkey see monkey do
Somewhere between the false and the truth
We all compromise

But you and I broke every rule
That they ever made
Don't ask why
Love is a chance that you take
And like leaves in the wind
At the mercy of whither we blow
How little we know

I've seen the northern lights on a winters day
Up in Minnesota people like it that way
So much of nature I don't understand
Its a mystery not a plan

Lookin for answers is goin' nowhere fast
Everythings forever but nothing seems to last
Come tomorrow, today will be the past
Like waves upon the sand
You and I broke every rule
That they ever made
Don't ask why
Love is a chance that you take
And like leaves in the wind
At the mercy of whither they blow
How little we know

And in the end what matters most is
How the heart will rise
And see us through the dramas
Till we realize
How little we know

You and I broke every rule
That they ever made
Don't ask why
Love is a chance that you take
And like leaves in the wind
At the mercy of whither they blow
How little we know
