Bright Eyes – Happy Accident lyrics

There's lots of thing 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 can not live,
That's what keeps you competitve,
Throw another shower for a friend.

And 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're 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 accept our fate, and all the chance it eleminates.
Once we did there was nothing to pretend.
Always say there's a time and place, so maybe yours will consolidate,
And if we do I will greet you as a friend.

You can show me where it is, cause I'm looking for that 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 that happiness,
Come on show me where it is, cause I'm lookin.
