The Lucky Ones Lyrics
On the edge of a moment,
In the land that we love,
In a time that our best has to be good enough.
Like all those before us,
We start out alone;
We race from our schoolyards,
Into the unknown.
City lights, as far as the eye can see,
You and I, we will live differently.
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns;
We’re taking our chance,
We’re the lucky ones.
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine.
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Searching for love,
Counting steps as we go,
Our parents they taught us there’s no way to know.
I still hear their voices in the back of my head,
Saying, “You’ll do it better than we ever did”.
City lights, as far as the eye can see,
You and I, we’ll do it differently.
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns,
We’re taking our chance,
We’re the lucky ones.
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine.
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh (We’re gonna be fine)
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
City lights,
Stretching from sea to sea.
You and I,
It was meant to be,
Meant to be.
Yeah
With our hearts in our hands,
Like loaded guns,
We’re taking our chance,
We’re the lucky ones.
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine,
And we’re gonna be fine, yeah.
We’re gonna be fine, yeah yeah oh,
This moment is yours,
This moment is mine, ohhh,
And we’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
We’re gonna be fine,
Oh oh oh ohhh ohhh
In the land that we love,

With our hearts in our hands,

We’re taking our chance,
We’re the lucky ones.

This song is about love starting between two people, obviously, and they lead different lives, hence "You and I, we'll do it differently", but they are still going to take a chance with love, letting their guards down and jumping into this relationship and making it work. They are "the lucky ones" who found each other because they feel they're soul mates.
I love this part:
"Searching for love, Counting steps as we go, Our parents they taught us there's no way to know. I still hear their voices in the back of my head, Saying, You'll do it better than we ever did."
Meaning, there's really no way to know if a relationship is going to work out.
