A King and a Queen Lyrics

Cover art for A King and a Queen lyrics by Okkervil River

He's telling her she can choose to be different things, behave in different ways for different reasons:

Be a sheep - though people will take what they can from you, then leave Be a butcher - and live entirely for someone who doesn't know you're alive Be a princess - loving someone for something they actually are not

"But the best thing for you would be queen, so be queen. You're all that I need." - just to be herself and he will worship her.

Will Sheff is the most eloquent man on earth. I LOVE this song.
