won't be long before i'm old and i'd like
to think that i was in control of my life
but i can't make it change, can't break
the pattern
i'm waiting for an accident to happen

you're so beautiful i just have to laugh
you've got everything a girl could ever have
but how to tell you that i can't imagine
i'm waiting for an accident to happen

tried so hard to find a voice inside me
but nothing's like the ones i heard inspire me
all the words i thought i'd find i haven't
i'm waiting for an accident to happen
