You Lucky One - Villagers

Why the stars all line up so perfectly For everybody, but not for me? I wish it could be easy But it never goes that way It's never like the movies It's never like they say Well, maybe one day I'll be back on my feet And all of this pain will be gone And maybe it won't be so hard to be me And I'll find out just where I belong It feels like it's taking forever But one day things can get better And maybe my time will come And I'll be the lucky one Now I can't stop thinking How this life could be I can keep pretending But honestly Does it really make a difference? Does it really ever change a thing? It's never like the movies It's never like you think Well, maybe one day I'll be back on my feet And all of this pain will be gone And maybe it won't be so hard to be me And I'll find out just where I belong It feels like it's taking forever But one day things can get better And maybe my time will come And I'll be the lucky one So give me a reason to keep holdin' on Something that makes me believe that my life's gonna change Seems like everyone else gets a shot, gets a break I can't wait for that to be me Maybe one day I'll be back on my feet And all of this pain will be gone (all of this pain will be gone) And maybe it won't be so hard to be me And I'll find out just where I belong (I'll find out just where I belong) Yeah, maybe one day I'll be back on my feet And all of this pain will be gone It feels like it's taking forever But one day things can get better And maybe my time will come And I'll be the lucky one And I'll be the lucky one

You can break away or you can stay You choose your life, you're free to fly Go on and fly Go on and fly She had it in her all the time To get away and try to find Somewhere to go, to run She saw the world through open eyes And never let a soul inside Don't come too close, so close Baby thinks she's smart, but what about her heart?

So hot outside all I can wear is these cut off overalls And sandals on my feet But I emptied my pockets for a bus ticket Just so I could sit there on a broken seat I got no place I should go I got no worries you know Second or seventh street It doesn't matter to me 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Well, I pulled back down to my upstreet apartment The air never works in that old place Twenty-seven I thought I'd be further along Than just this rented space I got no papers to read I got no cable TV,no And I got no places to be I got no people to meet 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one Yeah,I'm the lucky one I'm on a roll When I'm with you Don't stop me now I just can't lose 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night 'Cause you're mine That's all I need to know The sunshine's everywhere we go It's so right 'cause I've got you to hold every night Yeah, I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) Yeah I'm the lucky one (I'm the lucky one) I'm the lucky one

My heart is spilling over Crashing on the ground I can't see what's around me But soon I'll come around My faith is in the balance Of a million tiny words So I return to silence And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying It's time that I let go Of things I can't control This path that I've taken Is the only one I know Well I've come so far to get here And I've got so far to go So I'll take what I can get In matters of the soul And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And we are the dawn And we carry the sun And if I see a sign in the sky tonight No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light May never come, but I'm willing to wait What can I say? I'm a man of the faith And there's an ocean in my body And there's a river in my soul And I'm crying And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming) No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone) May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming) What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone) And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming) And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming) And I'm crying

The bus was late And forced us all to congregate Twenty seven strangers Made to stand and wait The time went by The sun went down A baby cried I just stood in line But there is no cue No stage hand saying what to do And you are me And I am you The bus it came And everybody loaded in Twenty seven strangers In a moving can The fluorescent light Doubled everyone inside The baby's face reflected In the shop fronts, in the sky But faces change And rules they all get rearranged And photographs All fade away The bus broke down At the graveyard on the edge of town Twenty seven strangers Separate without a sound So I walked home Just feeling nothing on my own Noticing that tree of yours I've been watching it grow So that's why I'm late My dearest one what can I say And tomorrow it could be the same When I do it all again

The sun is overhead And your feelings fade The summer's in the air And you're runnin' away The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time Another open road And your foot on the gas Another memory load Of the summers past The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart Wherever you go, I will follow We'll leave it all behind So alive We'll climb the sunlight one beam at a time (Oh, summer's song) The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart The summer's song Is in your heart And summer's song Is in your heart The summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart And summer's sweet lament Is in your heart
