Bright Eyes - Happy Accident lyrics
[Bright Eyes - Happy Accident lyrics]
Lots of things I could have done
Little tokens of my love
That I was always saving up to spend
It's the thought that counts, I guess
Even one that don't make sense
Even when it's easy to forget
Too much time for the self employed
I heard you scream in your mother's voice
So afraid you'd become her in the end
You want a life that you cannot live
Well, that's what keeps you competitive
Throw another shower for a friend
You can tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for that happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
For the sake now of the argument
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm looking for that happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin'
Not yet a mother but a good complex
You like the boys when they're scared of sex
What a shame that they grow up to be men
Well, maybe father does know best
And that's the reason why he left
All your pride, to the last ditch you defend
It took a while to accept our fate
And all the chance it eliminates
Once we did, there was nothing to pretend
Always say there's a time and place
So maybe odds will consolidate
If they do, I will greet you as a friend
You can show me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for your happiness
Come on, show me where it is
Now you found it all by accident
Come on, show me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for your happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin'
Little tokens of my love
That I was always saving up to spend
It's the thought that counts, I guess
Even one that don't make sense
Even when it's easy to forget
Too much time for the self employed
I heard you scream in your mother's voice
So afraid you'd become her in the end
You want a life that you cannot live
Well, that's what keeps you competitive
Throw another shower for a friend
You can tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for that happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
For the sake now of the argument
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm looking for that happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin'
Not yet a mother but a good complex
You like the boys when they're scared of sex
What a shame that they grow up to be men
Well, maybe father does know best
And that's the reason why he left
All your pride, to the last ditch you defend
It took a while to accept our fate
And all the chance it eliminates
Once we did, there was nothing to pretend
Always say there's a time and place
So maybe odds will consolidate
If they do, I will greet you as a friend
You can show me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for your happiness
Come on, show me where it is
Now you found it all by accident
Come on, show me where it is
Cause I'm lookin' for your happiness
Come on, tell me where it is
Cause I'm lookin'
