Lyrics
Lucky You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to asleep
Are those dreams inside you head?
Is there sunlight on your bed
And every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You coulda made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you
You own me
There's nothing you can do
You clean yourself to meet
The man who isn't me
You're putting on a shirt
A shirt i'll never see
The letter's in your coat
But no one's in your head
Cause you're too smart to remember
You're too smart
Lucky you
