[Verse 1]
Coming through the canyon 'cause I took the 405
Just to get my thoughts together and to prove that I'm alive
But I think I'm tired of waiting for some moment to arrive

[Chorus]
If happy ever after's just a lucky streak
And mercy is a weakness, baby, please be weak
And stay with me for a while on the miracle mile

[Verse 2]
We'll get through the forest, baby, through the thick and thin
We can pick up where we left off, when it felt good to begin
At the very least, a puzzle piece was finally fitting in

[Chorus]
If happy ever after's just a lucky streak
And mercy is a weakness, baby, please be weak
And stay with me for a while on the miracle mile

[Bridge]
And from the tops of every tree
The freeways twine like feelin' free
But one could lead you right to me on the miracle mile

[Verse 3]
There's a bird up on a wire in a sky without a cloud
And it makes me think just maybe hope is something I'm allowed
So, I turn to leave the gallery and make it through the crowd
[Chorus]
If happy ever after's just a lucky streak
And mercy is a weakness, baby, please be weak
And stay with me for a while
If happy ever after's just a lucky streak (If happy ever after)
And mercy is a weakness, please be weak
And stay with me for a while on the miracle mile
