Lyrics
Lucky One
These sheets of paper held together
By the strings of my heart and this old guitar
I thought I?d lost them, freed my mind
But I?ve found them again, heaven knows why
She?s the lucky one, just left her dreams behind
I?m the one? with nothing but time
She drew our picture on paper napkins
One for every night in that old hotel
I hadn?t seen them since they left her pen
But here I am with them all, open again
She?s the lucky one, just left her dreams behind
I?m the one? with nothing but time
Don?t know why I kept them, don?t know what I hope to find
But I?ve studied every page and read between each line
She?s the lucky one, just left her dreams behind
She showed me who was free, and who was blind
Why now can?t I find that same piece of mind
I?m the one? with nothing but time
