Lucky
Sam and Quinn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seemingly empty highway
A lone intersection clear
A truck coming out of nowhere
Made two spirits disappear
A heart's like a wheel
Every day is just the same
Until a pistol breaks the silence
Was that bullet mean for you?
You are, you are the lucky one
Tripping across the ocean
Far beyond the whitecaps
They'd given up your seat
Cause you were running far behind
With your face against the glass
That plane it leaves without you
Moments later it crashed




Was it so or meant to be?
You are, you are the lucky one

Overall Meaning

The song “Lucky” by Sam and Quinn is a poignant and reflective piece that tells the story of two individuals who, in different circumstances, both found themselves to be the lucky ones. The opening lyrics describe an empty highway and a lone intersection, an eerie environment that sets the stage for the tragedy that unfolds as a truck emerges out of nowhere, taking two people's lives. The lyrics then contemplate the fragility of life, likening the heart to a wheel that turns day in and day out until a single unexpected event can break the silence and forever alter the trajectory of one's life. The lyrics then pivot to a different story of luck, that of a person who missed a flight that later crashed, leaving them to wonder if fate had intervened to keep them safe.


The message of the song is that life is unpredictable and that chance events, both good and bad, can shape our destiny. The lyrics celebrate the beauty of life while acknowledging its uncertainty and transience. Life is full of ups and downs, and the lyrics entreat the listener to cherish the good moments while recognizing that the bad ones are often beyond our control. Overall, the song communicates a deep sense of gratitude for the good fortune that comes our way.

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
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

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 someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh
