Lucky

Once upon a way back when

Misery was my best friend

Always running from a misspent youth

Cold and empty as a pay phone booth

I might have known a girl or two

But nothing even close to you

Anyone with eyes could see

I'd had about enough of me

How many times now have I heard myself say

If I hadn’t got lucky if I hadn’t had you on my side

I wouldn't be standing here today?

Before you came into my world

I just couldn't get my flag unfurled

Any wind to find my sail

Was moving me to no avail

The thing about the man I was

Lonely is as lonely does

Everyday a blinding blur

That was just the ways things were

How many times now have I heard myself say

If I hadn’t got lucky if I hadn’t had you on my side

I wouldn't be standing here today?

You never did try to tie me down

And every last time I'd came unwound

You didn’t try to tame or shame or frame or game or try to lay blame

Whenever I was deep in doubt

You let me find my own way out

This is what it comes down to

I learned to be myself with you

Now and then I feel so good

I could learn to live in Hollywood

It's not like we can change the world

Were just another boy and girl

Growing old together on Sunday

Going back to work on Monday

How many times now have I heard myself say

If I hadn’t got lucky if I hadn’t had you on my side

I wouldn't be standing here today?

If I hadn't got lucky if I hadn't had you on my side

I wouldn't be standing here today (Boys)
