Just when I'm sure
That I've got it all down
Somethin' jumps up
And spins me around
Sometimes it's 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-doo
Somewhere between
The false and the true
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 whether we blow
How little we know
I've seen the northern lights
On a winter's day
Up in Minnesota people
Like it that way
So much in nature
I don't understand
It's a mystery not a plan
Lookin' for answers
Is goin' nowhere fast
Everything's forever
But nothin' 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 whether we blow
How little we know
And in the end what matters most
Is how the heart will rise
And see us through the dramas
'Til 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 whether we blow
How little we know
Just when I'm sure
That I've got it all down
Somethin' jumps up
And spins me around
