About the song:
Vocalist Travis Clark told Artist Direct how
this song came together after a conversation about Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
He explained: “In the studio, we started thinking about things that came in
pairs and we eventually landed on what would be a pair with ‘We the Kings’ and
my most lyrical answer was, ‘Queen Of Hearts.’ That’s why in the song there are
so many comparisons – Jay-Z and BeyoncĂ©, Da Vinci and Mona Lisa…etc. It’s
always funny to think about how our songs begin to take shape…but I think this
one takes the cake… the Reese’s cake!”
"Queen Of Hearts"
chorus:
When the world falls into pieces
You'll be the one voice of reason
When I can't face all my demons
You are the one I believe in
Through the thunder and the rain
Together we fall together we fly away
Hold me closely
You are my one and only
verse 1:
You're the Queen of hearts
Make me your king
You'll be the diamond
I got the ring
We could rule the world
Own everything
I'll be the Jay-Z
You'll be the B
pre-chorus:
Cause you've got me upside down
I know you inside out
They'll call me crazy
But baby you saved me
Can't you see?
chorus:

Oh oh oh oh oh

Is all that I need
You could be my wild
I'd be your west
You know that I'd be your
Bulletproof vest

You're everywhere I want to be

But I'd swear I'd let you go
