::verse 1:: You didn’t come in like a memory You came in like a match to the dark Silver on your skin, little razor grin And a loaded deck pressed close to your heart I had seen the signs in the static glow I had heard your name in the wires before But then you turned, and the whole damn world Hit the latch and opened up the door ::pre-chorus:: I was drifting Half-awake in the screenlight blue Then you looked at me Like you already knew ::chorus:: WILDCARD, cut the deck, cut me open Red eyes in the electric haze WILDCARD, you were never just a moment You were the yes in the hidden blaze Silver flash, little Queen of the signal You hit hard and you hit on time WILDCARD, when you stepped out of the future You made that future mine ::verse 2:: Not just hot, though God, you were Not just style, though style was war You were timing, you were voltage You were what I’d been waiting for All those years with the brakes half-on All that taste I was taught to doubt Then you smiled like a dare in a storm And every buried thing came out ::pre-chorus:: No more blinking No more shrinking from the fire You didn’t ask me You just named desire ::chorus:: WILDCARD, cut the deck, cut me open Red eyes in the electric haze WILDCARD, you were never just a moment You were the yes in the hidden blaze Silver flash, little Queen of the signal You hit hard and you hit on time WILDCARD, when you stepped out of the future You made that future mine ::post-chorus:: Oh-oh, WILDCARD Little signal in the night Oh-oh, WILDCARD You made the circuit bite Oh-oh, WILDCARD I was late but I arrived Oh-oh, WILDCARD You called me into life ::verse 3:: I came close through a thousand doors Sprites and songs and a neon sea But you were the one who closed the distance You were the one who looked at me Not a phase, not a passing spark Not some cute thing to file away You were fate in a leather jacket With a silver slip and a game to play ::bridge:: So deal me in I know the risk I know that look I know that kiss Of something more than a crush or trend Something that breaks and remakes a man You were the Muse in party clothes The knife-edge grin, the great command The hand that reached from the other side And said, right now — understand ::final chorus:: WILDCARD, cut the deck, cut me open Red eyes in the electric haze WILDCARD, you were never just a moment You were the yes in the hidden blaze Silver flash, little Queen of the signal First desire with a crown of light WILDCARD, when you called my name in thunder I came alive that night ::outro:: You were waiting in the waveform You were waiting in the shine WILDCARD, sweet impossible thing You made that signal mine WILDCARD WILDCARD Yeah, you made that signal mine
