Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you
Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my
Baby, I'm trying
Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

They don't know how long it takes
(They don't know how long it takes)
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
(Every time we say goodbye)
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will, I'm

lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes, through the trees
You move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning 'round
You hold me right here, right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Overall Meaning

The song "Lucky" by Jason Mraz (feat. Colbie Caillat) is a tribute to the power of love and the value of having a best friend as a partner. The song speaks of the distance between the lovers, yet their love is able to overcome this obstacle. The opening lines "Do you hear me? I'm talking to you, across the water, across the deep blue ocean, under the open sky, oh my" connote the passion and intensity of the love they share. The phrase "boy, I hear you in my dreams, I feel your whisper across the sea, I keep you with me in my heart" reflects on the strength of their connection and the way that love is able to transcend space and time.


The chorus states how fortunate they feel to have each other, and the appreciation they have for the paths they have taken to meet each other. The lines "lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I have been, lucky to be coming home again" convey gratitude for the fact that their love has grown from a longstanding friendship, and that they have both experienced enough in life to know that finding someone special is something to cherish. They acknowledge the difficulties that may come with navigating the intensity of their relationship, such as the long wait for a love like this and the pain of saying goodbye, but despite these challenges, they promise to wait for each other.


Overall, "Lucky" is a beautiful and emotional tribute to the joy and challenges of being in love with someone who is also your best friend. The musical collaboration between Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat is seamless, with their voices blending harmoniously to create a sound that is calm, soothing, and uplifting.

Such a bittersweet song for me. I’m in love for the first time and these words resonate within me. But also I used to sing this song all the time with my childhood best friend. We’d play with the harmonies and sing about love although we had no idea what it was. She passed away at 28 this past may and she never got to meet my love. This song brings so much emotion.
