[Verse 1]
The games begin when the gun clicks
We're the fresh meat, hopeless new romantics
They crane their necks from the skybox
But it's just us when we take the gloves off
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't, no, I don't wanna hurt you
But I'm holding my breath and it's your move
No, I don't, no, I don't wanna hurt you
But I might just have to
[Chorus]
All these blue ticks on my shattered screen
Guess it's fair play, now we're in the X Games
Getting fat lips in this coliseum
What can I say? Now we're in the X Games
[Post-Chorus]
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
[Verse 2]
We level up and we wipe out
It's no wonder we don't let our guards down
But there's no cheat code if we want this
Fairy tales ship, gotta run the gauntlet
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't, no, I don't wanna hurt you
But I'm holding my breath and it's your move
No, I don't, no, I don't wanna hurt you
But I might just have to
[Chorus]
All these blue ticks on my shattered screen
Guess it's fair play, now we're in the X Games
Getting fat lips in this coliseum
What can I say? Now we're in the X Games
[Post-Chorus]
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
[Bridge]
Are you ally or enemy?
'Cause the suspense is killing me
Are you ally or enemy?
'Cause the suspense is killing me
[Chorus]
All these blue ticks on my shattered screen
Guess it's fair play, now we're in the X Games
Getting fat lips in this coliseum
What can I say? Now we're in the X Games
[Outro]
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
The X Games
Oh, now we're in the X Games
(Now we're in the X Games)

The song’s about the trials of a relationship and the obstacle courses we go through – and how u sorta end up feeling like everything’s going in circles. That’s why I’m continuously spinning throughout the video haha.
