In 2001, the band regrouped, with guitarist James Valentine added to the line-up, and pursued a new direction under the name: Maroon 5. At this point, Jesse Carmichael switched to playing the keyboards and this has become his main instrument in the band (although he also plays rhythm guitar to this day). After these changes, Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and released their debut album, "Songs About Jane", in June 2002. The album's lead single "Harder to Breathe", received heavy airplay, which helped the album to debut at number six on the Billboard 200 chart. The band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005. For the next few years, the band toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs About Jane and produced two live recordings: 2004's "1.22.03.Acoustic" and 2005's "Live Friday the 13th". In 2006, Ryan Dusick officially left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn. The band recorded their second album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" and released it in May 2007. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single, "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.
On September 21, 2010, the band released their third studio album entitled "Hands All Over". It was re-released in 2011 to include the single "Moves like Jagger" (featuring Christina Aguilera). While the original version of the album received mixed reviews, "Moves like Jagger" reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band released their next album, "Overexposed", on June 26, 2012. All four singles of the album were really successful on the charts - for example, the second single from Overexposed, "One More Night" (released on June 19, 2012), reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2014, the band signed with Interscope Records and released their fifth studio album, "V", with the very-first line-up of six official band members, as keyboardist and backing vocalist PJ Morton became an official member in 2012. The album debuted at top of the weekly Billboard 200 chart. Since its debut in 2002, the band has sold more than 15 million albums in the United States and over 100 million singles and 27 million albums worldwide.
Accidentally in Love
Maroon 5 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?
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
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 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 me what was wrong
What's the problem? I don't know
I'm not sure what the problem is
Well, maybe I'm in love (love)
Perhaps I'm experiencing love
Think about it every time, I think about it
It's constantly on my mind
Can't stop thinking about it
I can't stop thinking about love
How much longer will it take to cure this?
When will this love sickness end?
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
I can't pretend this isn't love
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
I want to confront my feelings of love
But I don't know nothing about love, oh
I don't have much experience with love
Come on, come on, turn a little faster
Let's speed things up
Come on, come on, the world will follow after
Let's lead the world in love
Come on, come on, because everybody's after love
Everyone is searching for love
So I said I'm a snowball running
I compared myself to a rolling snowball
Running down into the spring that's coming
Rolling towards the beautiful future
All this love melting under blue skies
My love is blossoming like spring under sunny blue skies
Belting out sunlight, shimmering love
My love is shining bright and proud
Well, baby, I surrender to the strawberry ice cream
I am giving in to my sweet love for you
Never ever end of all this love
Our love will last forever
Well, I didn't mean to do it
I didn't plan to fall in love
But there's no escaping your love, oh
I can't resist your love
These lines of lightning mean we're never alone
Our love creates electricity and connection
Never alone, no, no
We will always have each other
Come on, come on, move a little closer
Let's get closer
Come on, come on, I want to hear you whisper
I want to hear your sweet words in my ear
Come on, come on, settle down inside my love
Let's get comfortable with each other's love
Oh, come on, come on, jump a little higher
Let's reach new heights together
Come on, come on, if you feel a little lighter
Let's enjoy our happiness and feel lighter
Come on, come on, we were once upon a time in love
We fell in love at some point
We're accidentally in love
Our love developed unintentionally
I'm in love (I'm in love)
I am in love
Accidentally in love
Our love happened unexpectedly

indeed, this is adam duritz's of the band counting crows, and not adam levine of M5. the latter adam has a soulful, sultry voice that M5 fans can distinctly identify. although, i have to say that duritz did mighty fine with this song.
Dianne
Maybe they misunderstood. This is not Maroon 5's song but you can hear Adam Levine's voice in the background. :)
