Lucky Day
Less Than Jake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you see me out there
Getting ready to go
Packing my frustrations away
I can always go for miles and still don't know

Why my disappointments always stay,
Packing all my frustrations away...
Why my disappointments always stay...
Am I wasting my time

I don't know what I will find...
Took eighteen years to realize
I don't know the reasons why!




The day I walked away
That was my lucky day!
