[Verse 1]
You are my lover
My lava flow
Burn like no other
Right through the core
Just like the constellations, we shine
No wreck or ruin, our planets align

[Pre-Chorus]
The tide and the moon, yeah
Pull like the sea
In waves I can feel ya
You're my ecstasy
The lamb and the lion
We lay down in peace
Like air to the fire
I need you to breathe

[Chorus]
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have its way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules
[Verse 2]
After the thunder
Must come the rain
After our beautiful karma
Must come the pain
Just like the constellations, we fade
As blades of sunlight send, send night away

[Pre-Chorus]
The tide and the moon, yeah
You pull like the sea
In waves I can feel ya
You're my ecstasy
The lamb and the lion
We lay down in peace
Like air to the fire
I need you to breathe

[Chorus]
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have its way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
By the rules I play
Let nature have its way
Predator and prey
That's the way we're made
So by the rules
By the rules
By the rules
