accidently in love
Counting Crow's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking about it
How much longer will it take to cure this
Makes me want to turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing about love, oh
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love
So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love, oh
These lines of lightning mean
We're never alone
Never alone, no, no
Come on, come on
Move a little closer
Come on, come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, come on
Settle down inside my love, oh
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
Accidentally
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally
Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
Love
I'm in love

So she said what's the problem baby
She asked what was wrong with me
What's the problem I don't know
I didn't know what was wrong
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Maybe I'm feeling love
Think about it every time
I can't stop thinking about it
Can't stop thinking about it
I keep on thinking about it
How much longer will it take to cure this
How much longer until this feeling goes away?
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
I can't ignore this feeling if it's truly love
Makes me want to turn around and face me
It makes me want to reflect on myself
But I don't know nothing about love, oh
I don't have much experience with love
Come on, come on
Let's keep going
Turn a little faster
Let's pick up the pace
The world will follow after
Others will follow our lead
Because everybody's after love
Because everyone wants love
So I said I'm a snowball running
I said I'm picking up speed
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Going fast toward the love that's on the way
Melting under blue skies
Feeling warm and happy under sunny skies
Belting out sunlight
Radiating happiness
Shimmering love
Exuding love vibes
Well baby I surrender
I give up
To the strawberry ice cream
To the enjoyable things in life
Never ever end of all this love
Never-ending stream of love
Well I didn't mean to do it
I didn't intend for it to happen
But there's no escaping your love, oh
But I can't avoid feeling your love
These lines of lightning mean
These sparks indicate
We're never alone
We're always together
Never alone, no, no
Never alone
Move a little closer
Come closer
I want to hear you whisper
I want to hear what you have to say
Settle down inside my love, oh
Nestle in my love
Jump a little higher
Reach higher
If you feel a little lighter
If you feel happier
We were once upon a time in love
We were in love before
We're accidentally in love
We fell in love unintentionally
I'm in love
I'm feeling love
Spin a little tighter
Get closer
And the world's a little brighter
Everything's better
Just get yourself inside her
Let yourself be happy and in love
