The Wild Card - Really Slow Motion

I didn't see it coming The kiss was so unpredictable And maybe it's the mystery In you that I'm addicted to it It's overrated knowing somebody so well it takes away the fire It's funny when you tell me you don't think you're all that interesting I beg to differ, with you I'm out here on the edge of my seat And every minute guessing, Holding my breath and fueling that fire And baby you're my wild card My perfect little twist of fate You're my first spark, shot in the dark Favorite part of everything And baby you're a sweet surprise Lucky like a shooting star You're a strong, free, just what I need, wild card I'm an unexpected dreamer Just watching through my every day You don't follow any leader You make your mark, and make a change You could see that I was loving, oh But baby now I'm living the life, yeah You can blame it on the gravity The reason that I'm falling But the truth is I would jump And girl you're everything I've wanted It's a revelation, yeah, kind of elevation Learning to fly And baby you're my wild card My perfect little twist of fate You're my first spark shot in the dark Favorite part of everything And baby you're a sweet surprise Lucky like a shooting star You're a strong, free, just what I need, wild card You're my wild card Got me happy like a holiday How in the blue been waiting on you praying for your everyday And baby you're a sweet surprise Looking like a superstar You're a strong, free, just what I need, wild card Oh baby All I need All I need You're my wildcard Baby, you're my wild card You're my wildcard Baby, you're my wild card

There's a solitary man crying, hold me It's only because he's lonely And if the keeper of time runs slowly He won't be alive for long If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve? It means nothing To the opium dens and the barroom gin In the Belmont chair, playing violin The gambler's face cracks into a grin As he lays down the king of spades But the dealer just stares There's something wrong here, he thinks The gambler is seized and forced to his knees And shot dead He only wanted more time Away from the darkest door But his luck it gave in as the dawn light crept in And he lay on the floor From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear To all of the men who have stood with no fear In the service of the King Before you met your fate Be sure you did not forsake Your lover may not be around anymore There's a solitary man crying, hold me It's only because he's lonely And if the keeper of time runs slowly He won't be alive for long

I was set-up to let you down It was always in the cards I was dealt a heavy hand Feeling like a royal flush But I was spade And I was set-up to take you down Just like a house of cards You can only build so high Until it falls apart 52 card pickup Look at the mess you made Boy So I return to the table Stack my chips up in a tower All in for the final deal Was I even in at all? 52 card pickup Look at the mess you made Boy I was set-up to let you down It was always in the cards I was dealt a heavy hand Feeling like a royal flush But I was a spade I was a spade I was a spade I was a spade
