Just when I'm sure that I've got it all down
Something 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-do
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 whither we blow
How little we know

I have 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 going nowhere fast
Everything's 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 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 whither we blow
How little we know
