when i used to get my cards read,
when i used to get my cards read,
i always asked about my future and the moment--
they brought up love, i asked for my cards to be folded
"what a waste", i would think
why would i focus on locked lips,
long walks on the beach, and wine in a box
when i could think of my life line, my fate line, or my head line displayed on my palms
so when the cards were pushed away and they grabbed my hands
my palm reader would tell me that they see a man
so i would cut the cord of my love line and walk away from the shop, hearing static
but now, they find you in every crevice of my palms
i believe in fate because of you, i have undeniably fell in love with you
you're always in my head, you have become a new beginning of a life I used to dread
i used to think of those who search for love so desperately
in their hands and in the hands of others
to be fools
but i recognize, in the tarot deck, the fool is love's start
