"The Joker And The Queen" lyrics
"The Joker And The Queen"
How was I to know?
It's a crazy thing
I showed you my hand
And you still let me win
And who was I to say
That this was meant to be?
The road that was broken
Brought us together
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that would give you a diamond ring
When I fold, you see the best in me
The joker and the queen
I was upside down
From the outside in
You came to the table
And you went all in
With a single word
And a gentle touch
You turned a moment
Into forever
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that could give you a diamond ring
When I fold, you see the best in me
The joker and the queen
And I know you could fall for a thousand kings
And hearts that would give you a diamond ring
When I folded, you saw the best in me
The joker and the queen
The joker and queen

Ed Sheeran explained Apple Music that "The Joker And The Queen" was written within 15-20 minutes over the instrumental by Sam Roman, "I had the line 'joker and the queen', then it was like, 'I fold, you saw my hand, you let me win, you put the cards on the table.' I didn't like this song for a while—in my mind, songwriting is cheating when it's that easy. Then my brother did a string part and suddenly it sounded like this old classic that had been around since the '50s. I fell in love with it.".
