The Lucky One (Commentary)-Taylor Swift

New to town with a made up name

In the angel's city, chasing fortune and fame

And the camera flashes make it look like a dream

You had it figured out since you were in school

Everybody loves pretty, everybody loves cool

So overnight, you look like a sixties queen

[Pre-Chorus 1

Another name goes up in lights

Like diamonds in the sky

[Chorus 1

And they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

Yeah, they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you鈥檙e the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2

Now, it鈥檚 big black cars and Riviera views

And your lover in the foyer doesn鈥檛 even know you

And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page

And they tell you that you鈥檙e lucky, but you鈥檙e so confused

'Cause you don鈥檛 feel pretty, you just feel used

And all the young things line up to take your place

[Pre-Chorus 2

Another name goes up in lights

You wonder if you鈥檒l make it out alive

[Chorus 1

And they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

Yeah, they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

But can you tell me now, you鈥檙e the lucky one?

Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge

It was a few years later, I showed up here

And they still tell the legend of how you disappeared

How you took the money and your dignity, and got the hell out

They say you bought a bunch of land somewhere

Chose the rose garden over Madison Square

And it took some time, but I understand it now

[Pre-Chorus 3

鈥楥ause now my name is up in lights

But I think you got it right

[Chorus 2

Let me tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

Let me tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

And they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

Yeah, they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one

And they鈥檒l tell you now, you鈥檙e the lucky one, oh, oh, oh

Oh, whoa, oh, oh
