Watch you mash your hair, and shield your eyes
Dress yourself, rehearse, you fix your smile
The darkest night, the whitest moon
Leave the door ajar in case you try
Wrap my arms around the thought inside
That you'll be king
You'll be king
You'll be king of all my empty spaces
All the lonely places that I've gathered for your throne
A house of cards I've come to call our home
In need of hands to build, to grow
You'll be king
I fix my hair, you touch my cheek that way
This fever burning like the summer rays
And you'll be king
You'll be king
You'll be king of all my empty spaces
All the lonely places that I've gathered for your throne
A house of cards I've come to call our home
In need of fans to build, to grow you
You were leading me on
You were bringing me down
Everything that I am could never have been
We have been here before
Left behind what we found
Only able to see what you were chasing down
You were leading me on, you were leading me on
You're just leading me on
You'll be king of all my empty spaces
All the lonely places that I've gathered for your throne
A house of cards I've come to call our home
In need of hands to build, to grow
And you'll be king, you'll be king
You'll be king, you'll be king
You'll be king
