We made plans to be unbreakable
Love was all we knew
No insurance for the unthinkable
Blindly get us through
We've been searching for a lifetime
Short as it may seem
Riding on the fumes that spark us
While igniting dreams

Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...

Driving in the rain to the hostpital
Quiet aches in tense
What at once just seemed the impossible
Now makes perfect
We held hands to face the uncomfortable
Cold and lonely room
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through

Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Mistakes we knew...

And when we try
To think of the life inside
We found ourselves
Looking at the world through new eyes

What can now be said
Oh, little one on the other side
Dance until the band stops playing
Sing with all your might

Mistakes we knew we were making
Mistakes we knew we were making
Don't think about chances we're taking
Don't think about rules we're breaking
Mistakes we knew...

The list goes on and on...
(On and On)
The list goes on and on...
(The list goes)

    I agree that it's about abortion.. because first they say.. "and when we try to think of the life inside we find ourselves looking at the world through new eyes." and then they say. "what can now be said oh little one on the other side, dance until the band stops playing, sing with all your might." I think that they are saying that while it might be uncomfortable to have an "unwanted" baby that it''s not right to take it's life so you can have a fun one...
