Letra de
The Luckiest

A música The Luckiest de Ben Folds foi criada como parte do álbum Rockin the Suburbs, lançado no ano de 2001. Inspirada por sua esposa à época, Frally Hynes, a música expressa profundos sentimentos de amor e contemplação sobre ser o mais sortudo por ter encontrado sua alma gêmea. A letra conversa com ideais de amor destinado e o conceito de almas gêmeas encontrando-se através do tempo e das circunstâncias.

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns,
The stumbles and falls brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face
Now I see it every day
And I know

That I am
I am
I am the luckiest

What if I'd been born
Fifty years before you
In a house
On the street where you live
Maybe I'd be outside
As you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am the luckiest

I love you more than I have
Ever found a way to say to you

Next door
There's an old man
Who lived to his nineties
And one day, passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed
For a couple of days and passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a
Strange way to tell you that I know
We belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am the luckiest
