Note: this album (and obviously song) are by Ben Folds as a

solo artist, not Ben Folds Five. The correction form doesn't allow

you to change the artist, so i put it here.*



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 everyday

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

in a wide sea of eyes

see one pair that i recognize

and i know

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest

love you more than i have

ever found a way to say to you

next door

there's an old man

who lived into 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
