X’s and O’s

[Verse 1]
I've been meaning to tell you
That you were in another reoccurring dream of mine
I've been meaning to ask you
Have we met or are you just a figment of my mind

[Chorus 1]
The more I waste my time
Thinking about the words I shouldn't write
Knowing all to well I take the bait
She's leaving X's & O's by her name

[Verse 2]
I can't explain this attraction
I swear to you it only happens when I close my eyes
Never a big fan of fiction
Think I'm converting just to serve this fantasy of mine

[Chorus 2]
No ink in my last pen
You've dried it out with run-on sentences
She's writing now with dark lip stick instead
Engraving X's & O's in my head

[Bridge]
And she's got a red dress on in the act
It should blend well with the bleeding
These bandages are heart-shaped just like that
Imaginary wound I'm treating

[Chorus 3]
I'm only trying to help you understand
Where I'm coming from, no one else can
So follow me until my shadow ends
And may the sun never go down again

[Chorus 4]
And honestly the more I waste my time (more I waste my time)
Thinking about the words I shouldn't write (words I shouldn't write)
Knowing all too well I'll take the bait
She's leaving X's & O's by her name
