Serendipity Lyrics

[Verse 1: Laufey]
I won't pretend, I've been desolate
I won't pretend, I've been blue
It happened so quickly
One second it hit me
I've fallen quite hard over you
I won't pretend, I've been anxious
Just like I've always been
This time, it's sticking
And time just stops ticking
When I have my arms around you

[Chorus: Laufey]
Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes
Coincidences and cosmic signs
Have proved that I am quite naïve
I'm falling fast, filling gravity
And all that I see is serendipity

[Verse 2: Laufey]
Ran into you on the corner
Of Ninety and Central Park West
Oh, how it thrilled me
I thank the big city
And, this, I will rarely confess
In years when we're losing our memory
The world's taken leaps over time
I hope that you'll look at me like
I'm still twenty-three
Hope that you still be mine

[Chorus: Laufey]
Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes
Coincidences and cosmic signs
Have proved that I am quite naïve
I'm falling fast, filling gravity
I swear that, this time
It's serendipity

[Outro: Laufey]
Serendipity
Serendipity

She reflects on how the song’s imagery—like "four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes"—mirrors her belief in fate’s playful hand. The track’s bossa nova influences, a nod to Astrud Gilberto, add a breezy nostalgia, while the lyrics reveal her signature wit: "I’m falling fast, failing gravity" twists romantic clichés into something fresh and relatable.
