Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It keeps me awake at night
Thinking what the hell to say to you
so by next time we meet
I'll be asleep on my feet
But that's alright by you
I guess we'll never get it right
But I wish you were here
To make it all clear
And that's all I ever want to hear
Cos I wish I knew what you're thinking
I'd save me from asking and pissing you
But maybe soon we'll see happy endings on the horizon
But something always comes along to shake things up
Saw you in a dream last night
Never thought I loved you
Now I might
But the cold light of day shows we've nothing to say
So I'll try to see what I missed
Making the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
And when I'm asleep with a dream I can't keep
Well I know I've got cold feet
And all my rhymes are cheap
But I wish I knew what you're thinking
I'd save me from asking and pissing you
But maybe soon we'll see happy endings on the horizon
But something always comes along to shake things up
It keeps me awake at night
Thinking what the hell to say to you
so by next time we meet
I'll be asleep on my feet
But that's alright by you
The song "Lucky Strike" by Hack & Nick is about the struggles of trying to communicate with someone and the difficulties of finding clarity in a relationship. The lyrics express the frustration of wanting to know what the other person is thinking, but constantly falling short.

Despite the confusion and misunderstandings, the singer confesses his love for the other person, even if it's not reciprocated.
In the second verse, the lyrics mention a dream that the singer had about the other person, where he realizes his feelings for her. However, the song transitions back to the harsh reality that they have nothing to say to each other in the cold light of day. The lyrics also express the feeling of being stuck in a vicious cycle of making the same mistakes and never being able to break free from them.
