Queen and King of Smaller Things

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can hear the hum Overhead of the power lines Something half-sung and half-spoken And fully ours tonight This country's run by rich men's sons And they don't look like Anyone we've seen around These hallowed grounds That we call yours and mine [Chorus] So let us be The queen and king of smaller things You and me The queen and king of smaller things [Verse 2] Out there is a place for leavers And those who've not arrived Looking for delivery in the miles and speed Of ruling the yellow lines I've held your hand across borderlands A million times in my own mind Seen highway flowers shake in the wind Until I'm blown back to you again [Chorus] And we'll be The queen and king of smaller things You and me The queen and king of smaller things [Verse 3] Across the dividing line Young hearts trade their blood for rust Because they lost their bets On the candidates Who don't give a damn for us You've seen me bow to temporary crowns But you're the one I wanna follow now And if the miles between Cut me at the knees I'm be low enough to kiss your ring [Chorus] And we'll be The queen and king of smaller things You and me The queen and king of smaller things You and me The queen and king of smaller things
