lyrics

THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.

The wall between us is tissue thin.
Well below us is overgrown
A skein of blood under drum of skin
A knot of love that you'll never know.
The path is rocky and full of thorns.
The arch is wild with wisteria.
The street is strewn with the sound of horns,
But we float up to etheria,

WHERE WE SAY JUST WHAT WE MEANT TO SAY
AND WE DO JUST WHAT WE MEANT TO DO
WITH WORLDS OF ROOM THERE TO RUN AND PLAY
AND WORLD OF ROOM THERE FOR ME AND YOU
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.

I turn the blinds as the sun comes up
I turn the blinds as the sun goes down.
I drink from out of a daily cup.
It fill and empties as ….
I want what I know I cannot have
I reach for something I cannot touch
I wonder lost up and down the ave
I need the comfort of you so much.

I will appreciate what I've got
I won't take for granted what's in hand
If only I can repair my lot
If not on Earth then some other land

WHERE WE SAY JUST WHAT WE MEANT TO SAY
AND WE DO JUST WHAT WE MEANT TO DO
WITH WORLDS OF ROOM THERE TO RUN AND PLAY
AND WORLD OF ROOM THERE FOR ME AND YOU
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
