Happy Accident Lyrics

Except that the line about 'I heard you scream in your mother's voice' is NOT about wanting to be her mother, it's about NOT wanting to be like her- 'So afraid you'd become her in the end'. The fact that she's 'screaming in (her) mother's voice' is saying that she's already becoming her mother.
