Accidentally In Love
Counting Crows · Shrek 2 (Motion Picture Soundtrack) [2004]
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 'bout 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)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing 'bout 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 wanna hear you whisper
Come on, come on
Settle down inside my love.
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.
Accidentally In Love
Counting Crows' "Accidentally In Love" appears on the 2004 Shrek 2 soundtrack, marking a significant shift in the band's sound as they adapted their signature rock style for family-friendly animation. The track features the band's characteristic blend of gritty vocals and acoustic-driven instrumentation, blending their established indie-rock identity with the polished production required for a major motion picture. While the song carries the emotional weight of the film's narrative, it remains a staple of the group's discography, showcasing their ability to reinterpret their material for broader audiences without losing their core musical identity. This recording stands as a notable example of the band's versatility during the mid-2000s era.
