Royal Highness - Tom Grennan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The first verse starts off by describing that he wants a girl to become a part of his life and fill the gap of everything that has been broken; he wants someone who he can have as a partner. It sets a mood of happiness that he has found somebody that can become a part of his life in a positive manner. 

Come be my lover, be my get away car
Come be the new string on my broken guitar
Be the person, gotta take what I want
One step too far

[Pre]
These lines are starting to build up the story ready for the chorus. He knows that the girl feels the same way that he does but she is also challenging him to see if he will make her his.

All this time I’ve been clocking your eyes
I’ve been thinking you’ve got everything I like
You’re acting like you wanna show me if I’m right
If you’re feeling what I’m feeling

[Chorus]
The chorus describes how he will treat her like royalty. He wants her to be his and treat her as best as he can. He describe how she will always be royalty to him but she will always have that fun side of her which is shown in the lyrics.

You’ll be my royal highness
Queen bee, with a little sting to ya
You’ll be my royal highness
My lady, with a little freak to ya
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness, royal highness

[Verse 2]
In this post he describes how she can be the start of the new chapter in his life. She excites him as he normally doesn't go for a girl like her but this makes him want to become more involved with her. He also describes how he doesn't want her to be someone who she isn't therefore should act like herself and not put on a front.

Be my temple, be the start of a fire
Be the one that’s not my usual type
Let me see you’re not a trick of the light
Don’t be shy

[Pre]
All this time I’ve been clocking your eyes
I’ve been thinking you’ve got everything I like
You’re acting like you wanna show me if I’m right
If you’re feeling what I’m feeling

[Chorus]
You’ll be my royal highness
Queen bee, with a little sting to ya
You’ll be my royal highness
My lady, with a little freak to ya
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness, royal highness

[Bridge]
These lyrics show understanding of how finding each other was hard at first because they may have had difficult relationships in the past, but now they have got each other.

(It will come along without you knowing, it’s like finding)
A needle in a haystack
(It will come along without you knowing, it’s like finding)
A needle in a haystack
(It will come along without you knowing, it’s like finding)
A needle in a haystack
(It will come along without you knowing, it’s like finding)
A needle in a haystack

[Chorus]
You’ll be my royal highness
Queen bee, with a little sting to ya
You’ll be my royal highness
My lady, with a little freak to ya
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness
You’ll be my, you’ll be my royal highness, royal highness

[Outro]
(Without you knowing, without you knowing it’s like finding)
A needle in haystack
(When I come along without you knowing, it’s like finding)
Royal Highness


Overall, the song is very upbeat and happy and positive about a new relationship. The lyrics give s storyline of how he will treat the girl which helps me understand what the music video should include and how it will turn out. The main focus within the video will be their relationship and how they are happy together.
