Jason Mraz Colbie Caillat Lyrics


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

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
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
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

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

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





Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Do you hear me?
Você está me ouvindo?

I'm talking to you
Estou falando com você

Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Do outro lado da água, do outro lado do oceano azul profundo

Under the open sky, oh, my
Sob o céu aberto, oh, nossa

Baby, I'm trying
Amor, estou tentando


Boy, I hear you in my dreams
Garoto, eu te ouço nos meus sonhos

I feel your whisper across the sea
Sinto seu sussurro do outro lado do mar

I keep you with me in my heart
Eu te guardo comigo no meu coração

You make it easier when life gets hard
Você facilita as coisas quando a vida fica difícil


Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Sorte de estar apaixonado pela minha melhor amiga

Lucky to have been where I have been
Sorte de ter estado onde estive

Lucky to be coming home again
Sorte de estar voltando pra casa novamente


Ooh, ooh, ooh
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)
Eles não sabem quanto tempo leva (eles não sabem quanto tempo leva)

Waiting for a love like this
Para esperar por um amor como esse

Every time we say goodbye (every time we say goodbye)
Toda vez que dizemos adeus (toda vez que dizemos adeus)

I wish we had one more kiss
Eu gostaria que tivéssemos mais um beijo

I'll wait for you, I promise you I will, mmm
Esperarei por você, eu te prometo que vou, hum


Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Sorte de estar apaixonado pela minha melhor amiga

Lucky to have been where I have been
Sorte de ter estado onde estive

Lucky to be coming home again
Sorte de estar voltando pra casa novamente

Lucky we're in love in every way
Sorte de estarmos apaixonados de todas as maneiras

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Sorte de termos ficado onde ficamos

Lucky to be coming home someday
Sorte de estar voltando pra casa algum dia


And so I'm sailing through the sea
E assim estou navegando pelo mar

To an island where we'll meet
Para uma ilha onde nos encontraremos

You'll hear the music fill the air
Você ouvirá a música preencher o ar

I'll put a flower in your hair
Eu colocarei uma flor no seu cabelo


Though the breezes, through the trees
Apesar da brisa que passa através das árvores

You move so pretty, you're all I see
Você se move tão graciosamente, você é tudo que vejo

As the world keep spinning 'round
Enquanto o mundo continua girando

You hold me right here, right now
Você me mantém aqui, agora


Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Sorte de estar apaixonado pela minha melhor amiga

Lucky to have been where I have been
Sorte de ter estado onde estive

Lucky to be coming home again
Sorte de estar voltando pra casa novamente

Lucky we're in love in every way
Sorte de estarmos apaixonados de todas as maneiras

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Sorte de termos ficado onde ficamos

Lucky to be coming home someday
Sorte de estar voltando pra casa algum dia


Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

This was our go to reminder of how lucky we were. I lost my wife/ best friend 6 weeks ago to cancer. This song still tells our love story even as she has left my side. Lucky to still be in love with such a beautiful spirit across the divide.
