Sweet Serendipity
Lee DeWyze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've got one pair of jeans
They've been stretched too far
And now they're weak at the seams
I can't say what's next
And I got nothin' up my sleeve
But I don't lose my head
Cause it ain't really up to me
And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
I don't ask for a lot
No nothing more than I need
Because I love what I got
Don't need to play the lottery
I just want to be strong
At the end of the road
I don't want to hold on
I want the strength to let go
And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
And what will be will be
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
Like Sweet Serendipity
Don't look fate can only find you
You can't choose for something to surprise you
Set sail without a destination
Just see where the wind will take you
You never know when you're gonna fall
But I'm not worried
No I'm not worried
And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
Don't look fate can only find you
You can't choose for something to surprise you
Set sail without a destination
Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet Serendipity
Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet Serendipity
I don't know
Sweet Serendipity
The song "Sweet Serendipity" by Lee DeWyze is about finding the silver lining in life despite not having much. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who doesn't have much, but they're content because they're doing okay regardless. The singer acknowledges that life is unpredictable and they don't know what the future holds, but they're not worried because they believe that something is watching over them.
The chorus of the song, "I'm always landing on my feet, in the nick of time and by the skin of my teeth," suggests that the singer has had some close calls in life but has always found a way to come out okay. The phrase "sweet serendipity" refers to the idea that the good things that happen in life often come out of nowhere and unexpectedly, almost like a stroke of luck. The singer embraces this idea and is grateful for the little blessings they receive.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to appreciate what they have in life instead of stressing over what they don't have. It is a gentle reminder that life can be full of surprises, both good and bad, but it's important to find joy in the small moments and trust that everything will work out in the end.

I ain't got no car
I don't have a car
And I've got one pair of jeans
I only have one pair of jeans
They've been stretched too far
My jeans are worn out from being stretched too much
And now they're weak at the seams
My jeans are now weak at the seams due to stretching
I can't say what's next
I'm uncertain about what the future holds
And I got nothin' up my sleeve
I don't have any hidden tricks or plans
But I don't lose my head
I don't panic or get stressed out
Cause it ain't really up to me
I don't have control over everything that happens
And I'm doing just fine
I'm doing well
I'm always landing on my feet
I always end up on my feet or in a good situation
In the nic of time
At the perfect moment
And by the skin of my teeth
By a very narrow margin
I ain't gonna stress
I'm not going to worry or get worked up
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Because things could be worse than they are now
Somethings watching over me
I feel like something or someone is looking out for me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Like a happy coincidence or unexpected good fortune
I don't ask for a lot
I don't ask for much
No nothing more than I need
Just what's necessary, nothing extra
Because I love what I got
I appreciate what I have
Don't need to play the lottery
I don't need to play the lottery to get what I want
I just want to be strong
I want to be mentally and emotionally strong
At the end of the road
At the end of my journey or life
I don't want to hold on
I don't want to cling to things or people
I want the strength to let go
I want to be able to move on and let things go
And what will be will be
The future is uncertain and out of my control
Don't look fate can only find you
You can't plan or control everything
You can't choose for something to surprise you
You can't predict or plan for good surprises
Set sail without a destination
Start on a journey without knowing the endpoint
Sweet, sweet
A happy or joyful feeling
I don't know
I'm uncertain or clueless
