The song and narrator marvel at how very unlikely and unintentional it is for the couple to be mutually in love, and they are glad that it happened anyway.
[Verse 1]
Freckles form a line around your face
And I get lost when I try to find my way
And I start to tumble down
Pick me back up off the ground
Teardrops boiling in a pot of gold
And we drink up 'til we're wrinkled and we're old
We can always fly away
I mean every word I say
[Chorus]
Ever think what if we never met?
You love me, but you don't know it yet
Everything is just an accident
A happy accident
[Verse 2]
Limbo and we’re going lower still
And we plan love, put it on a window sill
In another time and place
Where I never even had the chance to see your face
[Chorus]
Ever think what if we never met?
You love me, but you don't know it yet
Everything is just an accident
A happy accident
[Bridge]
If I never laid eyes on you
Would I feel something missing?
If you never laid eyes on me
Would you know something's gone?
I don't think that I'll ever know
Let's just live in the afterglow
Let it go
Just let it go
[Chorus]
What if we never met?
You love me, but you don't know it yet
Everything is just an accident
A happy accident
A happy accident
A happy accident
