Six
Yannick Bovy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was done
Nearly out
Guess I lost my way somehow
Now I'm in
With a shout
Since you turned my whole world upside down
It's so easy just to hide away
Close your eyes and cross your heart

But I've got my winning ticket
And I'm in it

Lay down my aces and took my chance
But I bet it all on a loosing hand
Now baby you rescue me
May be destiny
Come smile for a while
Cause lady luck has never been a friend of mine
But this could be my time
Cause I roll the dice
And I got a six tonight

Lot's of rush
Then it drops
You're addicted to this game
Now I know where it stops
But you spin that wheel around anyway
It's so easy just to hide away
Close your eyes and cross your heart
But I've got my winning ticket
And I'm in it

Lay down my aces and took my chance
But I bet it all on a loosing hand
Now baby you rescue me
May be destiny
Come smile for a while
Cause lady luck has never been a friend of mine
But this could be my time
Cause I roll the dice
And I got a six tonight

I got a six tonight

It's so easy just to hide away
Close your eyes and cross your heart
But I've got my winning ticket
And I'm in it
To win it

Lay down my aces and took my chance
But I bet it all on a loosing hand
Now baby you rescue me
May be destiny
Come smile for a while
Cause lady luck has never been a friend of mine
But this could be my time
Cause I roll the dice
And I got a six tonight

And I got a six tonight
I got a six tonight

Line by Line Meaning

I was done
I felt like I had exhausted all my options

Nearly out
I was close to giving up entirely

Guess I lost my way somehow
I didn't know what I was doing, and I had no clear direction in life

Now I'm in
But now I've found a purpose

With a shout
And I'm excited about it

Since you turned my whole world upside down
Because you've come into my life and changed everything

It's so easy just to hide away
It's easy to retreat and avoid taking risks

Close your eyes and cross your heart
To protect ourselves from failure and disappointment

But I've got my winning ticket
But I have a chance to succeed

And I'm in it
And I'm committed to taking that chance

Lay down my aces and took my chance
I put all my resources into the game
