lyrics

MISTER ACCIDENTAL
its been ages since i sat on the beach and cried but i its been ages since i sat on the beach and cried but i
drove down there last night
turned off the lights turned up the radio
and sang the saddest song i know
to the hanging moon and its catching star
so near yet so far
hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall
all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart
i’ve got way too many things to do
than sit around and think of you
i’ve made a list and i’ll follow through
in the distracting moments i’ll unglue
my eyes from thoughts of your gaze
my life from this stupid maze
of throwing my heart up till it sticks
there’s much more important things than this
hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall
all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart
hey mister accidental you accidently made me cry hey mister accidental you accidently made me cry
it was so lovely to meet you, lay in your arms and sigh it was so lovely to meet you, lay in your arms and sigh
whoa, yeah, yeah
i’ve played this song a hundred times
written over all the spare paper i could fi nd i
sat on the end of my bed and cried
looked out at the moon and asked it why
looking in my pocket for spare change
hoping to see you again
mister accidental
hey mister...
hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall hey mister accidental you accidently made me fall
all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart all i did was take off your hat and shoes and you’ve taken off with my heart
hey mister accidental you accidently made me cry hey mister accidental you accidently made me cry
it was so lovely to meet you, lay in your arms and sigh it was so lovely to meet you, lay in your arms and sigh
do you know how sweet you really are
know your lips divine
i’d drink water everyday if you could be my wine
hey mister accidental
say you’ll come back soon
make up your mind be mine
is much to ask of you...
