Lucky
Action Item Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turning all the lights off.
Walking on the sidewalk.
Even though all the stores have closed the doors, we're still up.

Come a little closer.
Walk a little slower.
We can take our time, don't let tonight be over.

Love may not be what you plan and
Things happen you don't understand.
It's a crazy life to live,
But through it all
I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by, oh.

Waking up to sunlight.
Staying on our own time.
Even though everyone is in a rush, it feels right.

Come and lay beside me.
Listen to my heartbeat.
We can stay right here and disappear, don't worry.

Love may not be what you plan and
Things happen you don't understand.
It's a crazy life to live,
But through it all
I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by.

I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by, oh.

Love may not what you plan and
Things happen you don't understand.
It's a crazy life to live,
But through it all
I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by.

I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by.

I think we're lucky, maybe we're lucky,
Maybe we shouldn't let this moment pass us by.
