Written by Mateo Garzon

The needle dragged against the spinning wheel

We sat at the table and delt the cards

You spilt some of your wine on my table

⁴We locked our eyes, and there it was

Certainly uncertain, knowing only what we know

But fairly certain on the uncertain

Do you or do you not

⁸That was the mystery of this game

Similar to poker, I was all in, I thought I knew your cards

In your eyes I saw the stars, in mine you saw the cards

I called your every bluff, but you had the better hand

¹²You won the jack pot, my ace of hearts in your hand

The needle skipped, the room fell silent

We sat across each other, till we didn’t

You got up leaving the wine to stain

¹⁶You were gone, till you returned

You flipped the record, now you play a different tune

I feel as if I heard this one before

Similar to the last, but somehow completely different

²⁰I will hum along, just like before

Sat at the table we delt the cards

Your wine soaked into the table

You looked at it, then at me

²⁴With the slightest grin and faintest blush

Our eyes met, and there it was once again

Uncertainly certain, knowing only what we know

But fairly uncertain on the certain

²⁸Do we or do we not

In my eyes you saw the hole where my heart lay

In your eyes I saw your next card play

Lose or win, will you stay here

³²You still have my ace, yet you choose not to play her

What’s your plan, are you all in

Its not a mystery, you drew a 2 of hearts

Do you plan to lose, I plan to win³⁶In my hand the queen of hearts
