If I Be Lucky
Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're going 90 on the interstate
You looked me in my eyes you told me "Don't believe in fate"
We don't have to worry about anything right now
We can wait till sunrise or at least wait till Sunday
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
We can see it for more than friends I hope If I'm lucky I'll see you again
I've got one chance to make this work
I've got one moment to prove my worth
f I'm lucky then I'll see you again
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
Driving through the country that night Everything for once just felt right
You turned and looked me in my eyes
You said "Don't go searching for the light. you have something special but is it really worth it?"
Trigger around my finger
Your thoughts linger my mind
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
We can see it for more than friends I hope If I'm lucky I'll see you again
If I'm lucky to see you again
I've got one chance to make this work
I've got one moment to prove my worth
Fuck I'm lucky then I'll see you again
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
Everybody wanna know
Why can't you just let me know
Everybody wanna know
Just where you're going
Everybody wanna know
Why can't you just let me know
Everybody wanna know
Just where you're going
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
We can see it for more than friends I hope If I'm lucky I'll see you again
If I'm lucky to see you again
I've got one chance to make this work
I've got one moment to prove my worth
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
If I'm lucky then I'll see you again
The lyrics to Joe's song "If I Be Lucky" tell a story of a reckless and spontaneous adventure with someone he has feelings for. The song is set during a night drive, speeding down the interstate in his dad's stolen car. His companion advises him not to believe in fate and rather live in the moment, indicating that they will not worry about the consequences of their actions for now. Joe hopes for more than just friendship, however, acknowledging that he only has one chance to impress his companion during this one night.
The chorus repeats the phrase "If I'm lucky, then I'll see you again" several times, expressing Joe's desire to reconnect with this person even after tonight. The bridge adds to the song's depth by questioning Joe's motivations and the potential repercussions of seeking this person out once more. Despite the uncertainty, Joe knows that he only has one opportunity to show what he's worth, and he hopes for the best but acknowledges the possibility of failure.
Overall, this song is about taking risks, chasing love, and living in the moment. It is an emotional and heartfelt ballad, and the lyrics capture the excitement, vulnerability, and hesitation that often accompany such situations.
