"Happy Accident" lyrics

"Happy Accident"

Lots of things I could have done.
Little tokens of my love, that I was always savin' up to spend.
It's the thought that always counts I guess.
Even one that don't make sense.
Even when it's easy to forget.
To much time for the self-employed.
I heard you scream in your mothers voice.
So afraid you've become her in the end.
You want a life that you cannot live.
But that's what keeps you compettive.
Throw another shower for a friend.

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 lookin' 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.
Took a while to except 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 ours will consolidate,
If they do I will greet you as a friend.

You could 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'
