“If I’m Lucky” is a love song from the perspective of someone who feels like they’re unworthy of their significant other. SC frontman Derek DiScanio said at a 2016 show that he wrote the song when he was 15, and it was the first one he ever wrote.
[Verse 1]
Hello Sunshine, or what's your name today?
Well you look so graceful but I’m not faithful
Do you really wanna be with me?
Hello Summer, or should I say goodbye?
Well it’s been so long but I’m still thinking if it’s worth another try
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I've got a lot to talk about if you still wanna listen
Or if you even care
[Chorus]
I'm just trying to find my place in this world
And I know it’s not so right to feel this way about a girl
But if you stay or if you go, I’m right there with you
But you know that I’m looking for more than a pretty smile
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
But if you stay or if you go
I'm just hanging on again
[Verse 2]
Hello Stranger, we haven’t had a past
But now I’ve learned so much, so much, yeah, time's gone by so fast
Hello Beautiful, it’s so obvious that you’re hearing every word I say
You know, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
That I’ve got a lot to talk about if you still wanna listen
Or if you even care
[Chorus]
I'm just trying to find my place in this world
And I know it’s not so right to feel this way about a girl
But if you stay or if you go, I’m right there with you
But you know that I’m looking for more than a pretty smile
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
But if you stay or if you go
I'm just hanging on again
I'd love to say
I'd love to say
That I'm so glad I've found my place in this world
And it's so right to feel this way about a girl
But if you stay, or if you go
I'm right there with you
But you know that I'm looking for more than a pretty smile
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
But if you stay, or if you go
I'm right there with you right
[Chorus 2]
I'm so glad I've found my place in this world
And it's so right to feel this way about a girl
But if you stay, or if you go
I'm right there with you
But you know that I'm looking for more than a pretty smile
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
But if you stay, or if you go
I'm hanging on
I'm just, oh, I'm just hanging on
I'm just hanging on
Hello Sunshine
