Jason Mraz told The Sun December 19, 2008 why he hooked up with Caillat. He explained: “I became a fan of Colbie through MySpace and just cold-called her to see if she’d want to write and sing together. I dug her laid-back style and her attention to little things that make relationships work. She was a delight to share the mic with.” Songfacts®.
Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat – Lucky Lyrics:
Do you hear me? I’m talking to you.
Across the water across the deep blue ocean.
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying.
Boy I hear you in my dreams.
I feel your whisper across the sea.
I keep you with me in my heart.
You make it easier when life gets hard.
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend.
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Lucky to be coming home again.
Ooh ooh ooh…
They don’t know how long it takes.
Waiting for a love like this.
Every time we say goodbye.
I wish we had one more kiss.
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will.
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend.
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Lucky to be coming home again.
Lucky we’re in love in every way.
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.
Lucky to be coming home someday.
And so I’m sailing through the sea.
To an island where we’ll meet.
You’ll hear the music fill the air.
I’ll put a flower in your hair.
Though the breezes through trees.
Move so pretty you’re all I see.
As the world keeps spinning ’round.
You hold me right here, right now.
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend.
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Lucky to be coming home again.
I’m lucky we’re in love in every way.
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.
Lucky to be coming home someday.
Ooh ooh ooh…
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh..
