Called by PopMatters “the true emotional centerpiece of the record”, “Lucky Guy” is a reflection on Lerche’s relationship with Norwegian filmmaker and actress Mona Fastvold. Their divorce was a recurring theme and main impetus for the lyrics on Please.
Lucky Guy Lyrics
I am such a lucky guy
To have meant the world to you
Held on, to you, almost, held my own
I am such a lucky guy
To have seen the world through you
So hell bent out of shape tonight
I won't lie
Baby, you broke me
I am truly a lucky guy
You are such a lucky girl
To have loved and believed it
By design, from within your bones
You are such a lucky girl
My voice breaks so I'll sing it
Carve out one final tune tonight
I won't lie
Baby, you broke me
I am truly a lucky guy
We are such a lucky two
In the shape of an island
Less so, as we approach mainland
We were such a lucky two
So immune to the motion
So untouchable till tonight
I won't lie
Baby, you broke me
I am truly a lucky guy

What did Sondre Lerche say about "Lucky Guy"?
“I guess ‘Lucky Guy’ represents the ideal of honoring what was and then trying to move on without animosity. That song is pretty heartbreaking, even to me. It’s almost like I’m reminding myself of how I want to think about (the failed relationship), you know?”
