You got to bend the rules
And I know
Midnight, standing in the shadows
I think too much
In the promises we keep, oh
In my head
The phrase that turned
Let’s go on
The alphabet
In my head
You got to be your own man
The first time
Yeah, I know
Making moments last a lifetime
A long time left
In the company we keep
You got to bend the rules
You got to be your own man
The girl that I adore
Become the spark
The hint of a smile
And at the start
Making moments last a lifetime
You got to bend the rules
We live on
And I know
Yeah, I know
Yeah, I know
We live on
You've got to fight the plan
Go on
Has come again
A hint of a smile
The first time
And I know
You dance a pirouette
That captured me
There on the shore
And maybe luck
You got to fight the plan
She combs her hair
You got to make the rules
On the sand
You got to break the rules
It makes no sense
You got to break the rules
Bad days of crawling on the sidewalk
You got to be your own man
The accidental rhyme
You’ve got to fight the plan
They stay on in a mansion for the weekend
That captured me
The accidental rhyme
And I know
This haunting is a reckless escape
To understand
You got to make your own rules
You got to be your own man
A chance remark
