Lyrics:
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’ve been played before
If you hadn’t guessed
So I kept my cards closed
To my foolproof vest

But you called my bluff
And saw through all my tells
And then you went all in
And we left together

And I know
You think that what makes a king
Is gold
A palace and diamond rings

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 the queen

THE MEANING BEHIND THE PICTURE OF “JOKER & QUEEN”
In gambling games, the Joker is often referred to as the "Wild Card" or the "Joker Wild". That's because the Joker has the ability to replace or represent other existing cards such as Cards, Checks, Tep or Spades. It can play as the highest trump card to the lowest card.
Meanwhile, drawing a Queen card is often a terrible choice in some games. Each Queen card will inflict penalties in card battles.
So the title "The Joker & The Queen" is a metaphor for "I will be anything for you, even you are a punishment to me".

The joker is a useless card in the context of poker and is generally used to replace a missing card. The Queen and King are both strong cards, so it is unsurprising if the Queen falls for the King. But it is the Joker that finds his worth and wins the Queen's heart in place of the King.

I need more songs that sounds and feels and means like this. So mellow, sad yet with comforting truth, reality of true love, so poetic, metaphorical, deep... ughhh I love this song 😭

This song makes me want to go to a wedding and just cry there. I wouldn't even know who the couple were and they would be definitely surprised to see me.

Ed Sheeran songs are like a beautiful tale listening before a good sleep ..

This is so delicately beautiful and breathtaking. So sweet and intimate. Two people who are going through life, not realizing they are doing the same things as someone else, they don't know theyre connected. Then they meet and its a beautiful delicate love. I feel like I may be in this situation and I was relating to everything has changed regarding the situation and now ed and taylor bless us with this!
