A Lucky One

(album: The Grand Garden - 2008)

Set it up
You seem not estranged to the cigarette you're lighting
You're most screwed up
Cause that's the shirt you wear and that's how you like it

When you grow
Can't you stand to be a man
Or will you always brand
The light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and dad, they're always pacing
20 years and trying to get away

You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you

It can't be fun
When you see that all your real friends knew you were lying
But you're never done
With your stories, your excuses, your goodbye-ing

When you push
Them away, you might have less day
For blowing out
That light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they're still complaining
20 years and trying to get away

You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you

She's all you got
She's all you got
She changes a lot
A preacher, you are not
But you know all the right things to say

You ruined it all
But it never was your turn to pay attention
Attention's all
All that you want but that you would never mention

Watch your wall
And watch that bridge, you might tumble over
When your one wish is
For the light up in the sky you're hating
Mom and day, they'll be there waiting
20 years and trying to get away

You're a lucky one with all your trying
And that luck is all you'll have left, trying to prove you
