Lucky Ones
Lana Del Rey · Born To Die - The Paradise Edition [2012]
Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down
If you stick with me, I can take you higher
And higher
It feels like all of our friends are lost
Nobody's found, found, found
I got so scared, I thought no one could save me
You came along, scooped me up like a baby
Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?
Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time
Boy get into my car; got a bad desire
You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now, now, now
You're a careless con and you're a crazy liar
But baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down
I tried so hard to act nice like a lady
You taught me that it was good to be crazy
Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?
Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time
Feels like, feels like, you know it feels like
Falling in love for the first time
Feels like, you know it feels like
Falling in love
Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?
Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time
Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be?
Yeah, you and me are the lucky ones this time
About Lucky Ones
"Lucky Ones" by Lana Del Rey serves as a haunting centerpiece on the *Born To Die - The Paradise Edition*, reinforcing her signature blend of cinematic pop and gothic romance. Released in 2012, the track exemplifies her ability to weave melancholic narratives with lush, retro-inspired production. The song's atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics capture the emotional volatility characteristic of her early work, drawing heavily from the aesthetic of 1950s Hollywood noir. It stands as a pivotal moment in her discography, establishing themes of lost love and fatalism that would define her subsequent career. The recording reflects the era's shift toward more textured, emotionally raw pop, distinguishing it from the polished pop of the time while maintaining a distinct, brooding identity.
