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
