The King Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crush always making me feel like I got nothing to offer
But I'm the only one that can make you feel right
I’m the only one that you think of at night
Baby, don't lie
You're always talking to me like you’re totally bothered
So why you always ring at the end of my line?
Don't you got a girl that can make you feel nice?
It's a dead sign
[Pre-Chorus]
You see me as your lifeline
Other boys and girls never really made you feel right
And you can't explain why I'm always runnin' your mind
Don't you see the answer's right in front of your eyes?
[Chorus]
You like me, well obviously
So why you trying to leave when you know that I’m the king?
(You’ll see) 'Cause I’m supreme (Choose me)
Other lovers give you no luck
'Cause I'm the only one that has made you fall in love
(You'll see) So just shut up (Choose me)
[Verse 2]
Babes always flirting away, getting every number
And you can have your fun ’cause I know that it's fake
I know when you're done you'll come running my way
So I let you
Date everyone and complain that you can't find a lover
'Cause I'm the only one when the chemistry fades
I'm the only one at the end of the day, kinda cliché
[Pre-Chorus]
You see me as your lifeline
Other boys and girls never really made you feel right
And you can't explain why I'm always runnin' your mind
Don't you see the answer's right in front of your eyes?
[Chorus]
You like me, well obviously
So why you trying to leave when you know that I'm the king?
(You'll see) 'Cause I'm supreme (Choose me)
Other lovers give you no luck
'Cause I'm the only one that has made you fall in love
(You'll see) So just shut up (Choose me)
[Bridge]
I'm the one you come to when you're feelin' alone
And I'm the only one who's gonna pick up the phone
Lookin' for the one, but it's me all along (Choose me)
And baby, I'm a winner, yeah, it's somethin' you've known
No, I am not a quitter, yeah, I get what I want
Playin' with your heart, could you give me the throne?
Choose me
[Chorus]
You like me, well obviously
So why you trying to leave when you know that I'm the king?
(You'll see) 'Cause I'm supreme (Choose me)
Other lovers give you no luck
'Cause I'm the only one that has made you fall in love
(You'll see) So just shut up (Choose me)

How did the song come about?
I write all of my songs myself, so “The King' basically just started, me in my bedroom with my guitar. I feel like I don’t really do well writing with other people. I just kind of hide in a hole and write my songs. I wrote "The King” just kind of at this weird point where I was really fed up with so...
What inspired the song?
This song was inspired by this one person who I liked for four fucking years when I was in high school, and I liked them so much. I was so in love with them. And it really sucked because, for four years, they never told me that they liked me back, but then right before I moved to California, because...
