All The Aces

I was never good at calling bluffs
I was never good at caring just enough
My heart always fell too fast for love

And I never played my hand right
There was always heartbreak at the finish line
The win was close but never mine

I consulted writers and poets
Searched the scripts and the oceans
Gave my blind hope devotion
Cursed my painstaking heart
Though no one ever explained
The truth is clear as day
Love is a game
That's why I only call him

Ace, he's the card I have up my sleeve
We can make it out of here, baby
Ace, the first one I really wanted
Take my hand and block out the sadness
The best card in the deck
A royal flush
A scared to death it could ever end
I finally hold all the aces
Cause I hold him

I was never good at touch and go
I was never good at betting against the odds
If you don't risk a thing, you'll lose it all

Now the lessons and crushed dreams
Are sirens between our heartbeats
There to lead him back home to me

I consulted writers and poets
Searched for answers in omens
Gave my blind hope devotion
Cursed my restless heart
Though no one ever explained
The truth is clear as day
Love is a game
That's why I only call him

Ace, he's the card I have up my sleeve
We can make it out of here, baby
Ace, the first one I really wanted
Take my hand and block out the sadness
The best card in the deck
A royal flush
A scared to death it could ever end
I finally hold all the aces
Cause I hold him

All the aces, all the aces, all the aces
(Cause I hold him, he says)

Close your eyes and take the chance of all chances
I've been waiting all my life for something like this
Close your eyes and call me something you've been missing
The queen of hearts and the ace who won her heart

Oh-oh (She found love, she found love)
Oh-oh (It's true love)
(All the aces, all the aces, all the aces)
Oh-oh-oh (She found love, she found love)
Oh-oh-oh (It's real love)
(All the aces, all the aces)
All the aces
