The Joker and the Queen (feat. Ed Sheeran)

This writes love as a card game: you're the king, I'm the queen you kept, win or lose. Haven't you, for someone, gladly been the "plus-one" role?

Ed Sheeran's piano is two people laying cards down slow. Taylor writes "submission" tender and a little fated. You'll sigh — some love is gladly crowning you.
