"Joker" lyrics

Jesse Lyrics

"Joker"

Can't play your game, so take me away
But without me, you're incomplete
I'm the missing piece, trick or a treat
Smile on my face, laughing and joking
Usually lonely, and if you hold me
I'll make you stronger, I wanna do that
Oh, it's driving me mad, I want what you have

Oh, what a shame, no one to blame
Without escape, tears on my face
Call me insane, put me in a box
Tell me who I am and all that I'm not
Are you confused? I know, me too
Winning or losing, I don't need a suit
Put me on trial and I'll tell the truth
If you want me to

Diamonds and spades, Jack of all trades
I'm having trouble not finding my place
Been around kings, I had a queen
Lost in the club with my heart on my sleeve
I can't behave, lock me away
Learning to juggle and losing my faith

Live to get ahead of the race
Necessary evil
Always gonna feel out of place
Room full of people

Can't play your game, I tried to change
Painted my face, made a new name
Are you entertained?

Jesse Rutherford, The Neighbourhood frontman, released "Joker" (alongside "Rainbow") as his first two solo singles since the band went on hiatus. Both songs were published under a new contract with Atlantic Records on the 28th of March, 2023. That was his first new music as Jesse® since 2019. "It's a true solo journey, and the music is just kind of soundtracking what I'm going through in my life. And I thought it was kind of time to grow as an individual, because I've put a lot of my time and energy into growing within relationships, which is a great thing," he explained Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
Jesse® shared in a statement about this song, "It's been a minute since I've shared anything. It feels like I moved away from home & got a new phone number. This is my message letting you know I'm back in town & trying to get together."
