"Lucky" (Original)

For Nina, who is away in Poland for a few weeks. Her channel: http://www.youtube.com/ninjapiano

We're leaving on a plane to Dallas
Hoping we don't get delayed
In her southern twang, the stewardess
Says her partner's her best mate
Sure, their chatter was obnoxious
By the time we got on our way
Though I know takeoffs make you anxious
I hope we'll be like them someday

Switched seats with a random guy
Just so I could sit front row
To watch you spread your wings and fly
And couldn't hide my grin below
Even though you ask me why
I can tell, deep down you know
I get so proud of you, I cry
Through curtain call at every show

I need to stop fretting
Over things that don't matter
Like how I just can't stand this place
I'm nearly forgetting
All I need is you to get
This fashionable frown off of my face

I know I haven't been around to
Just hang out or even breathe
But you know I really miss you
When you are not with me
Now I just can't wait to see you
And I know that you'll agree
After all that we have been through
I don't know how I got so lucky.

i really like this song, are you ever going to release this officially on an album or anything?

[devilishlypure]

@oneandonlytiffy Someday, I'm sure. Right now, that album only has two tracks written for it though.

[leesgreatmorgansgay]

loads of your songs aren't on itunes :(

[devilishlypure]

Two of my songs aren't on iTunes, because they do not make up enough for an album. Sorry. When I write 8-10 more songs, they will be.

Hey Lauren, are you taking singing lessons? The less you push/belt, the higher and more lovely your range becomes. Love the song!

[devilishlypure]

I've tried them before, but I tend to get really frustrated with voice lessons. I haven't found a teacher that can successfully explain to me what I'm doing wrong or help me to figure it out on my own, unfortunately.

Thank you! :) I tend to belt because I'm happier with the way it sounds. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone, but I don't usually like how that ends up.

This is so beautiful. My eyes tear up each time I hear it even though the lyrics aren`t that sad. Its because I can FEEL your emotions through your voice. I can`t say that about many artists. No matter what you`re singing I can feel what you mean.

Also, the high notes are gorgeous.

Love your voice espesially when it almost goes falsetto.

[TheWarnerSister]

This is so gorgeous. :')
