Lucky Numbers
Matt Webb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Outgrew the old green truck
Some people just have all the luck
Stop me if you've heard this before
Don't need the weekend anymore
Here's one to our good fortune
I'm free to lead this life I need
Thank my lucky numbers
Sometimes a class closes the door
Sometimes a chance finds something more
Sometimes a tab is worth asking for
Thank mom and dad's trust in your core
I'm free to lead this life I need
Thank my lucky numbers
Thank my lucky numbers for
Stage fright and uprights, the bedroom on the other side
For path-finding, mountain climbing time
Goodnight and thanks for coming out
Bright lights ignite without a doubt
Walk through a young man's dream
It's everything it seems
I'm free to lead this life I need
Thank my lucky numbers
Thank my lucky numbers for
Stage fright and uprights, the bedroom on the other side
For path-finding, mountain climbing time
Alright, alright, alright
The lyrics of Matt Webb's Lucky Numbers talk about how some people are just naturally lucky, and how that luck can shape their lives in various ways. The opening lines discuss being born with "lucky numbers" and how that can make someone wonder about their fate. The verses go on to talk about different experiences that contribute to one's "luck" in life, such as outgrowing an old green truck, having good fortune and devotion, and being grateful for the trust of one's parents. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm free to lead this life I need, thank my lucky numbers" as a reminder to appreciate the good things that have come one's way, whether by chance or design.
The bridge of the song takes a more reflective turn and suggests that sometimes in life, unexpected opportunities present themselves, and taking advantage of them requires a certain amount of risk-taking and self-belief. The lines "sometimes a chance finds something more, sometimes a tab is worth asking for" speak to the idea of seizing the moment and pursuing one's dreams, even if it involves stepping out of one's comfort zone. The final verse returns to the theme of gratitude, as the singer thanks his lucky numbers for things like stage fright and uprights (presumably a reference to musical equipment), the bedroom on the other side (perhaps a metaphor for overcoming obstacles), and path-finding, mountain-climbing time (a metaphor for the journey of life).
Overall, the message of Lucky Numbers seems to be one of appreciation for the good things in life, and a recognition that sometimes luck plays a role in one's success. At the same time, the song suggests that there are also times when we must take risks and seize opportunities if we want to achieve our dreams. Ultimately, the lyrics celebrate the idea of being free to lead the life we need, and finding joy in the journey along the way.
